1032mm. General rule of thumb is that we get 40” a year.. I’m sure my recording app said we’d had 132 wet days.
April-May we had 6-7 weeks of drought.

1 of my farms 900 metre from me gets a lot more rain, it’s not recorded there but I’ll often look at it and I might get 6mm and there’s will show 10-15mm

Here's my figures. I measure Sunday to Sunday, so not exactly bang on for each month, also theirs a couple I've had to estimate as the rain guage got blown out of its holder in the storms
Only 26 miles west up in the hills of you @Sals dad

I bet April and May being drier than average really suited your place.

I‘d imagine your ground would be generally quite wet to travel springtime.
 
Being on the side of a hill, it surprises you how quickly the place dries out.
April and may really buggered up the silage here, stunted it big time, the grazing wasn't too bad. I was hoping to get silage the begining of June, but thought I'll give it a couple of weeks to bulk up. Unfortunately the heavens opened and the contractor was on stop for nearly a month, and because of the steepness of this place you have to pick your days, it was the begining of August at me getting silage. Milking cows on sh1t old silage is not fun !
