Troubleshooting • Pi Zero W Keeps disconnecting from the wifi

Hi All

I have a Pi Zero W that runs my weather station outside, randomly (I have found nothing that connects the events both Physical and Programmer) the Pi will stop connecting to the wifi, to reconnect it, I put a 2h reboot cycle in so every 2 hours it reboots, but after a reboot it sometimes does not come back to the wifi, but the other few times it comes back fine,

I realize my fix is also creating the problem but I can't go outside every few hours and restart the Pi. Sometimes it will disconnect half way through a 'cycle' (ie at 7:30am when the the restarts are at 6am & 8am).

I know heavy rain and fog typically disconnects it but It will do it in any weather...

I know there is most likely not an answer but if someone could point me in how to see why it is disconnecting (network service down, can not see the wifi, etc) , that would be great.

Thanks
