True, though not on a par with the "Big Wet" in Sydney 1989-91; no less than 26 weekends in a row on which it rained heavily here, and after 18 months of no observing I sold my gear - all of it - and dropped out of astronomy altogether.
A run of clear weather like the 7 year drought in the early '80's would be more reason to upgrade, IMHO. Day after day after day of piercing blue skies and crystalline nights...
