Do continue to monitor the "signal meter" when you're having issues. The so-called meters usually are not giving an indication of actual strength (power) of the signal, but rather are an indication of the ability to decode the digital data stream that has been transmitted.
If you see the "meter" fluctuating rapidly in time with the disruptions, that's almost always an indication of interference of some sort. Multi-path is, by far, the most common type encountered. Small, not very directional antennas like the one you have are most susceptible to this issue.
