Gift of the rain

It has been raining incessantly for 2 days now. One thing I have noticed is when it rains a lot, I can get TV and radio from other valleys. The town I live in is in a very steep valley with very large hills. If it is raining a lot I will get extra digital TV channels when I retune the TV. I can even get radio from the Midlands and Surrey sometimes. 

The question is why? I have two theories, one is that the clouds are reflecting the signal back down to the ground and over the sides of the valley. The other is the rain itself is bending the signal around. 
I have no idea why I can get TV and Radio from other valleys when it is raining a lot, I guess I will just need to ask the all knowing internet when I have the time. Some of the TV I get when it is raining a lot is very nice.
