It is entirely possible, except nowhere it happened in an useful way. Where there is more rain, it tends to fall in bursts, with flooding. Because moister and hotter atmosphere is more unstable, it's basic principle in the meteorology. And the problem is, our agriculture(and not just it) can't cope with that. Proposals to compromise yields to improve land's stability/water retention are met with hostility.

No, instability in climate is caused by many factors but chief among them would be high and low pressure systems colliding with each other. Moister and warmer atmosphere is not difficult to cope with. Produce grows extremely well in the tropics and not so well in Siberia.
Recent studies show increased snowfall in central Antarctica for instance.
It's entirely possible that global warming has lessened the severity of these droughts. One fallacy of climate alarmists is to never admit that global warming has some positive effects, no matter how few.
If in fact global warming has in effect cancelled the next ice age, that is a giant win!
