Heavy Rain : Very hard rain has the potential to stop or weaken the satellite signal. Wait for the rain to stop and the problem should go away.
Snow : If snow builds up in the satellite dish then this will stop or weaken the signal. If safe to do so, clear the dish of snow or wait until it thaws. Then reboot the system.
Wind : Satellite pointing can be bad due to the wind. Make sure camping pegs fix the tripod well and lock lever is locked.
Obstructions : Anything in front of the dish, for example a tree, will weaken the satellite signal. Check whether anything has appeared in front of the dish recently.
