The famine would not break out because of drought, but there would be famine despite heavy rainfall as nothing would grow from the earth. (Using translation from Muslim 2904)   

أحمد:٨٧٥٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ السَّنَةُ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ مَطَرٌ وَلَكِنَّ السَّنَةَ أَنْ تُمْطِرَ السَّمَاءُ وَلَا تُنْبِتُ الْأَرْضُ
