St Germans SE Cornwall Rainfall to 30th April is 292.1 mm which is 83.3% of normal, just over half of this total fell in April (146.4 mm)

Revised figure because more rain fell until midnight is 296.5 mm, more rain fell in April than the the first 3 months however i am still below average, now on 84.6% of average, a deficit of just 55 mm.
