The dish has to be pointing precisely at the satellite in order to get the best signal. If it is, then the signal reduction that occurs during bad weather will not affect your viewing pleasure. However if the dish is off by even a modest amount, it will be receiving a reduced signal even in good weather. You probably won't notice that - until it rains, and your already-compromised signal is reduced to almost nothing.
The dish may not have been properly aligned to start with, or it may have shifted if it's particularly exposed to wind, or are there perhaps trees nearby that have grown up and begun to get in the way?
You need the services of a competent, independent aerial installer.
