Yes & No.
Weather & sky conditions do affect all forms of radio signals, & wi-fi uses radio signals to transfer data.
However, given the very short distance covered by wi-fi ... weather conditions (unless very extreme ..like a powerful magnetic storm) will not affect it to any noticable degree.
The magnetic fields caused by electrical wiring in homes & buildings usually have a much more significant effect on it that the actual weather.

Wifi doesn't travel far enough to be affected by weather.
Well, unless you're the guys who go for the 100-mile wifi record attempts. I could see weather causing problems there. Which is why they probably do it in the desert in the middle of summer.
Which isn't exactly completely rain-safe, but it's pretty good.

chilly cycle your router and modem now and back - they get perplexed This works - in the journey that your unique setting up worked and now it does not. (unplug, count variety to 10, and re-potential; this flushes the RAM, wait 30-seconds till rebooted - they'll reconnect immediately - could take a couple of minutes).

It does, but not noticeably.
