Starlink is satellite internet after all, so weather can affect performance. Heavy rain and snow can cause outages that last from a few seconds to several minutes. I recently had a thunderstorm, so I grabbed my phone to record the rain. The heavy rain in this video knocked out my Starlink Gen 3 Standard dish connection for around 10 minutes total. Light rain and snow usually doesn't cause any issues, but severe weather can certainly create problems!
