Radio Reception
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar to beams of light
because they do not bend around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot travel beyond the horizon.
Therefore, FM stations cannot be received at great distances
compared to AM reception.
Atmospheric conditions can also affect FM reception.
High humidity will cause poor reception. However, cloudy days
may provide better reception than clear days.

Since FM signals can be reflected by obstructions, it's possible to
receive both the direct signal and the reflected signal at the same
time. This causes a slight delay in reception and may be heard as
broken sound or distortion. This problem may also be encountered
when in close proximity to the transmitter.
