The radio signal isn't affected at all by the presence of nearby thunderstorms.
But the radio signals ("static") that pour out of a lightning strike in a short burst
may be strong enough that your receiver has a hard time telling the difference
between the static and the signal that you actually want to hear, so the "desired"
signal may be unintelligible for a split second.
Especially if you're trying to listen to AM radio. That's one of the advantages of FM ...
noise sources in Nature don't bother FM receivers as much as they bother AM receivers.
Oh ... there's another way that thunderstorms can affect radio signals. That's when
lightning strikes the transmitting tower directly, the spark gap at the bottom doesn't
work, the ground system hasn't been checked in a while, the strike fries the antenna,
the tuning network, or the transmission line, and the station goes off the air for a while.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of program do I need to unencrypt radio signals?
There is a program that that can be used to encrypt radio signals. Doee it have a name?
Can radio waves pass through clouds?
Clouds interfere with radio signals because the density of the cloud can cause static with the radio signal. The air can also interfere with the signal.
How does a radio transmit sound?
By radio signals of different ranges
Waves used for broadcastig radio signals are called what?
The waves used to broadcast radio signals are called RF waves and these generally lie in VHF and UHF band of electromagnetic spectrum.
Interference between two radio signals to improve radio images?
Interferometry
Do satellite radio signals get rained out like satellite TV reception does?
Satellite radio signals are not affected by rain and weather.
What cloud signals thunderstorms?
Very dark cloud
Can humans pick up radio signals?
No, humans cannot pick up radio signals naturally.
What is the effect of energy on the waves that are involved in internet?
The information is transported on the Internet by electrical signals, light signals, radio waves, as in Wi-Fi; which one is used depends on the individual network. All of these can be considered to be made up of waves. All of these also carry small amounts of energy. Both electrical signals and radio waves can be affected by interference from outside sources.
What kind of program do I need to unencrypt radio signals?

What does AM and FM on the radio stand for?
Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation. They are different methods of transmitting radio signals. AM is good for transmitting radio signals long distance FM is good for transmitting radio signals short distances but better quality
What is a stellar source of periodic radio signals called?
A stellar source of periodic radio signals is called quasar. This runs off of radio waves.
Can radio waves pass through clouds?
Clouds interfere with radio signals because the density of the cloud can cause static with the radio signal. The air can also interfere with the signal.
How does a radio transmit sound?
By radio signals of different ranges
Do wind turbines affect radio and television signals?
If placed in the wrong location, wind turbines can affect radio and television signals.
Can amplifiers pick up radio signals?
Yes, amplifiers can pick up radio signals if they are designed to do so and are connected to an antenna.
What signals do wireless networks use to send data?
Radio frequency signals.
