Mobile Network Not Working in Rain? Try These Simple Tricks

Kokila Chokkanathan
Rainy weather is refreshing, but it can be frustrating when your mobile network stops working. Many times, the problem is not with the network provider but with your device settings. Here’s how you can fix it.


1. Toggle Airplane Mode On and Off

One of the easiest ways to restore a network during rain is to turn airplane mode on and off:

  • Swipe down the notification bar or go to Settings → Airplane Mode
  • Turn it on, wait 5–10 seconds, and then turn it off
  • This refreshes the mobile network and often reconnects your device
Sometimes, your phone may be struggling to catch the signal, and this simple step works wonders.


2. Set Network Mode to Auto

Rain can affect 5G signals, but 3G or 4G often work fine. Adjusting your network mode can help:

  • Go to Settings → Network & Internet → mobile Network
  • Select Preferred Network Mode → 5G/LTE/4G Auto
  • Your phone will automatically connect to the strongest available network
This ensures you stay connected even when high-speed networks like 5g struggle.


3. Refresh mobile Data

If the network seems stuck or unavailable, refreshing mobile data can help:

  • Turn Mobile Data or Cellular Data off in Settings
  • Wait a few seconds and turn it back on
  • This re-establishes your connection and may restore your network
Sometimes, the connection is fine but needs a fresh handshake with the tower.


4. Restart Your Phone

If toggling airplane mode and refreshing data doesn’t work, try restarting your phone:

  • Power off your device completely
  • Wait 10–15 seconds and turn it back on
  • This resets any temporary glitches in network settings
Restarting can fix hidden software issues that prevent your phone from connecting to the network.


5. Check if the Problem is With Your Network Provider

If none of the above works, the problem may be with the network provider, not your phone:

  • Test your SIM in another device
  • If the network is still not working, it confirms an outage or maintenance issue
  • Contact your service provider to report the problem
Remember, sometimes heavy rain can weaken signals, and it may take a few minutes for the connection to stabilize.


6. Quick Recap

  • Airplane Mode Toggle: Refreshes network
  • Network Mode Auto: Connects to the strongest available signal
  • Mobile Data Refresh: Re-establishes connection
  • Restart Phone: Fixes software glitches
  • Contact Provider: Confirms outages
By following these simple tricks, you can reduce network disruptions during rain and stay connected when you need it most.
