As it seems like the entire world is currently suffering with drought conditions, what happens to all of the water? I would think if one area is suffering a drought others would have heavy rain but that doesn’t seem to be happening.

Two different things to consider here:
1) Due to a more energized climate, storms are stronger and heavier. This exacerbates drought conditions as heavy rain storms are over quicker and tend to wash away dirt rather than soak into the ground.
2) Places that are already wetter, SE Asia, the Subcontinent, and others, are getting heavier rain than before.
So, places that are already dry are getting drier and storms are stronger, which ironically, makes droughts worse.
