rain fade

Radio signal attenuation caused by rain. Rain fade is a factor at frequencies above 8 GHz and can be especially serious at frequencies above 11 GHz. Rain fade is sensitive to the rate of rainfall, the size of the raindrops, and the length of exposure as related to the length of the transmission path. See also attenuation.
