Is it true that Starlink satellite internet service degrades or drops out during heavy rain?

Yes. A 2025 measurement study in Oulu, Finland reports that rain degraded Starlink median uplink and downlink throughput by 52.27% and 37.84% respectively, directly supporting the claim that heavy rain degrades Starlink service. A separate 2025 case study notes environmental sensitivity as a constraint on satellite internet, consistent with but not specific to rain.
