Weather and its affect on wireless broadband

Couldn't figure a place for this so I stuck in on Maps.

How about starting a thread for studies of the affect of weather on wireless broad band?

There are three Sprint speed test servers. That would seem to be a logical weather test, how does weather at the sprint server locations affect our reception and speeds.

And the weather at the other speed test sites?

And the weather at our unique location.

We would be interested in sufficient sunny clear days to establish a norm. Then how do thunderstorms affect the speeds.

Weather is a factor no one has mentioned, at least to my viewing habits, and one that is extremely important, just remember the affect of lightning on non-cable tv reception.

I'm full of suggestions if anyone has time and energy to burn.

I've noticed on hot sunny days my signal goes up, but at night it comes down .I also watched it during thunder storms haven't seen a real adverse affect.I think I saw something about it at DSLreports. talked
about the effects of the sun and electromagnetics on UHF frequencies.I think I'll start keeping alog of signals and what the weather
was on each day.
