Actually it seems there is a possible entanglement,
but I'm not sure about its nature ..

Nelson, R. 1997, "Wishing for good weather:
a natural experiment in group consciousness."
J. Sci. Expl. 11 47

Abstract:
Many human activities are affected by the weather, and there is a long
history of rituals and ceremonial efforts aimed at controlling it. In modern
societies, such efforts are largely vestigial and amount to informal hoping
or wishing for good weather for special occasions. Reunion and commencement
activities at Princeton University, involving thousands of alumni,
graduates, family and others, are held outdoors, and it is often remarked
that they are almost always blessed with good weather. A comparison of the
recorded rainfall in Princeton vs. nearby communities shows that there is
significantly less rain, less often, in Princeton on those days with major
outdoor activities.

Maybe off topic. In general a new way (truly topological)
to look at entanglements. A touch of class by Kauffman et al.

Maybe off topic again. But it is possible to write down
a quantum state in which (not just 2 but) 3 particles
are entangled in a very peculiar way. This one.

If particle 1 is found to have the spin 'up', then
particles 2 and 3 are entangled. If particle 1 is
found to have the spin 'down', the particle 2 and 3
get disentangled.

Now let us put particle 1 in a remote (say space-like
separated) region. Yet a 'chance' event, befalling
particle 1, strongly influences the mutual relationship
betwwen particles 2 and 3!

A quantum butterfly effect?
