The above does not fit the facts of my case:
My internet was flawless for the first three years (see post #19), and I still have the exact same line-of-sight access to the local tower (no new structures erected in the vicinity).

The problems I had been experiencing recently (the subject of the thread) are not correlated with weather conditions (see post #22). Downpour, dense fog, freezing rain, blizzard, gale force winds, electrical storm: no correlation.

24 hours is a common DHCP lease but that appears to be in a permanent state of assigning an IP.
So having identical "expires" and "obtained" timestamps is definitely abnormal? For example, it's not a synonym for "no expiration"?
