Hydrometeors in the form of rain, hail or wet snow can produce severe attenuation of radio waves. In most locations, rain is the dominant form of atmospheric precipitation. Although rain absorbs and scatters energy at all frequencies, rain attenuation is only important for frequencies above several gigahertz.
