Does it normally rain so much during a drought?

So they called it a "drought" at a certain point in time and instigated a hosepipe ban as levels were at a certain capacity.
Since then it appears to have rained almost non stop and although I understand it wouldn't fully replenish the reservoirs etc, I'm pretty certain I heard the drought conditions/ban etc(?) are likely to extend all the way to December.
Wouldn't this therefore indicate that the hosepipe ban/drought was called far too late?

Desalination: cost effective nowadays and available. Yet no one uses it. Odd that.

I was talking about this with a friend who emigrated to Ibiza - they have a desalination plant there - she was laughing at the fact that we have all this rain, they have 30 degree average temps and they can wash their cars all year round and we have a poxy hosepipe ban
In the end we decided the most cost effective route to take was to turn the Isle of Wight into one huge desalination plant and prison at the same time
