  In this paper we assess the correlation between recent observing runs (2018
and 2019) and inclement weather, and demonstrate that these observing runs have
seen much more rainfall than would otherwise be expected, an increase of over
200%. We further look at a number of observatory sites in areas that are facing
or will face drought, and suggest that a strong environmental benefit would
follow from telescope allocation committees providing us an inordinate amount
of telescope time at facilities located around the globe.
