Rainy weather often brings a common frustration – network issues. Sometimes it’s the service provider, but often your phone’s settings can help fix the problem. Here are simple steps you can try to get your network back even when it’s raining.
1. Toggle Airplane Mode
Even if the network is active, your device may struggle to catch the signal. Here’s an easy fix:
Swipe down the notification bar or go to Settings → Airplane Mode.
Turn Airplane Mode ON, wait 5–10 seconds, and turn it OFF.
This refreshes your network connection and can quickly restore service.
2. Set Network Mode to Auto
Rain can affect advanced networks like 5G. Switching to auto ensures your phone connects to the most stable signal available:
Go to Settings → Network & Internet → mobile Network.
Select Preferred Network Mode and choose 5G/LTE/4G Auto.
This way, your phone automatically switches to the fastest available network that works in rainy conditions.
3. Refresh mobile Data
Sometimes your connection drops even when the network is available. To refresh:
Turn off Mobile Data / Cellular Data in Settings.
Wait a few seconds and turn it back ON.
This can re-establish your connection and get your internet running again.
4. Restart Your Phone
If toggling settings doesn’t help, a simple restart might do the trick:
Press and hold the power button.
Choose Restart.
This refreshes all your phone’s processes and often restores network connectivity if any settings were misconfigured.
5. Check the Provider
If none of the above methods work, the issue may be with your network provider:
Insert your SIM into another device and check if the network works.
If it also fails there, the problem lies with the provider.
Contact customer care for assistance.
This ensures you don’t waste time troubleshooting your phone when the problem is external.
Bottom Line
Rain can interfere with network signals, but most problems are easy to fix with simple adjustments in your phone. By toggling airplane mode, refreshing mobile data, setting auto network mode, or restarting your device, you can restore connectivity quickly.
If the network still doesn’t work, it’s likely the service provider’s issue, so contacting them is the final step..jpg)
