[MC-127622] Trident Channeling Enchantment works in Non-Weather Biomes

The Trident Channeling Enchantment works in non-weather biomes (i.e. Mesa, Desert, Savanna).

This is strange because it summons lightning where no lightning can strike otherwise.

I believe this to be a bug because another Trident Enchantment, Riptide does not work in the non-weather biomes when it is storming so it is inconsistent that the Channeling Enchantment does work.

Steps to recreate:
1. Put Channeling Enchantment on Trident
2. Go to Non-Weather Biome (Desert, Savanna, Mesa)
3. Change weather to Thunder
4. Throw Trident at mob and observe that lightning is still summoned despite being in a non-weather biome. Also note that the Riptide enchantment does NOT work in those same circumstances.

This issue may relate to MC-125919 where Tridents with Channeling work in the End Biomes.

Channeling requires that you see the sky while the weather is thundering, riptide requires that you touch water.

It makes sense anyway since the obscured sky during thunderstorms shows actual "particle collision" producing electricity that can be used by the enchanted trident, instead of just being a mere aesthetic feature.
