Read here. The news for global warming alarmists keeps getting worse (but better for the rest of humanity). Peer-research indicates surface evaporation that causes soil dryness is declining, despite warmer temperatures. Also, the level of precipitation has increased. The combination of these two make it very difficult to achieve drought conditions. It's also an indication of new climate model failure as prediction tools.
"Of the many pillars that support the alarmist view of global warming is that droughts will increase in many parts of the world. This prediction is fairly straightforward, for if temperatures increase, potential evapotranspiration (ETo) should increase as well. If precipitation stays the same in the future and ETo increases with higher temperatures, the area would see a reduction in soil moisture and a trend toward drought....We get the message from these two articles – we are getting more rain and we are seeing a decline in potential evapotranspiration....learning that potential evapotranspiration is trending downward and rainfall is increasing sounds to us at World Climate Report like a good thing for forests, grasslands, and agricultural crops throughout the world."
