"drought"
Temperature and precipitation are related to climate in how they affect it. Areas with very high temperatures and low precipitation, like deserts, are considered arid.
Where low pressure is persistent, air is always converging and rising. When air rises, it often cools to its dewpoint to condense into clouds and precipitation.

Probably so, and it still does today. We don't know the reason for the connection, but the weather is typically colder during times when the sunspot number is low for long periods. There have been two multi-decade long periods of very low sunspot activity, the Maunder Minimum and the Dalton Minimum. Each is associated with extended periods of unusually cold weather.
