Averages for Cornwall

From - http://www.ex.ac.uk/~dcwatkin/rainfall_in_cornwall/monthly_rainfall_data.htm

The rainfall data was obtained from the Cornwall Association of Rainfall Recorders (CARR); the secretary is Mrs Ros Smith of Duchy College, at Rosewarne. The CARR are a mix of amateurs and professionals who have been recording rainfall in Cornwall since 1940 and submitting their results to be recorded centrally. The rainfall measurements are made accurately and the rain gauges used conform to British meteorological standards.
