This is why adaptive coding and modulation systems exist. Also dynamic channel size changes and advanced computationally intensive FECs.
You don't think people working on microwave band projects above 10GHz with dollar figures in the hundreds of millions are unaware of basic rain fade and link budget methodology, do you?

When there is no clouds.
In my experience, all that ACM has achieved is that when link becomes "slow" and if it rains outside, it means that it will be down completely after few seconds. Previously with CCM or DVB-S without 2, it simply disappear without warning. And yes, I have and cheap and expensive Microwaves >10Ghz too. ACM/VCM really helps if you want to live on the edge, milking each db, (edge of link budget, e.g. small antenna size, interference), and this is actually very important to increase profitability, especially in case of multipoint VSAT, but it is near useless against rain fade.
