sarah macrae: Im afraid something has changed with your aerial system - its failed. The fact that its worse when raining suggests water ingress - that is, the seals have failed and rainwater is getting into the aerial and its downlead cable (coaxial cables suck up water!)
You need to have the aerial and cable checked by an installer or other competent person, and probably either the cable, aerial, or both, will need replacing.
When TV aerial systems start to fail, they dont just stop working, they do die slowly, and the effects on reception get slowly worse. At least youve noticed it now and can get it sorted before the weather gets really bad!

sarah macrae: It can indeed be!
At the same time, the installer can check the condition of the mast and brackets/lashing kit etc, and those can be replaced if worn - it wouldnt be very good if you had a shiny new aerial only for the lashing to snap and the whole lot fall off the roof in the next storm!
