Eli5: Where does all the water go during a drought?

Question

I know it evaporates but shouldn’t it it form clouds the will eventually rain back down?

In: Planetary Science

Answer 1

It rains or snows somewhere else. Because of how big the ocean is, likely over the ocean. This keeps happening. You get a drought.     

 Funny thing. As the climate and the oceans warm, more water evaporates. Overall, across the world, more clouds from. More clouds, more rain. Then what kills crops is not droughts but too much rain because there’s not enough pauses in the rain.
