Do you know the source of this info?
I have found the best and most accurate way is to buy a rain gauge for your back yard. I have seen posts about rain amounts in the villages that can be all over the place given the size of it. If you use any weather app that data could be coming from miles away and can vary by inches with the amount of rain you may have had. So to answer your question, I would not trust any source as accurate for your exact location when it comes to inches of rain (or as in the case up north…snow, LOL)
