In much of Africa, the largest satellite TV provider has been running on
Ku-Band into homes for several years now.

I'm not sure if they still support C-Band services for specialized
requirements. But all consumers have been on Ku-Band for a while now.

Heavy rain does cause outages, but overcasts do not.

If you are lucky to have an FTTH service and you are hit with rain, you
can turn to their app and stream the same live channels while the rain
falls.
