Does weather affect wireless computer systems Ex would the smoke from wildfires effect the signal?

Answer 1

Weather can and does affect computers and wireless signals. A thunderstorm, for instance, would produce a large amount of static "noise" to the signal, reducing the effective distance of the wireless equipment. Smoke would generally not have a noticeable on a signal, since it has no inherent radio properties, and is only slightly more dense than regular air, even if it is forming smog.

Answer 2

Yes, weather can affect wireless computer systems as extreme conditions like heavy rain, snow, or strong winds can disrupt the signal. In the case of wildfires, the smoke particles can potentially interfere with the wireless signal by absorbing or reflecting it, leading to slower speeds or loss of connectivity.
