Dear rdhdleo,
I doubt your home thermometer is certified and capable of accurately measuring temperature according to NOAA standards. (Sorry, I can't link the standards due to talk of the villages restrictions, but just search: “national weather service standards for recording temperature” in google and the first result will be the NOAA directives in pdf form.)
Temperature in The Villages (“TV”) does not vary much from location to location, but you are correct that due to the nature of thunderstorms, precipitation can vary widely which is the reason I noted precipitation in TV was below average, but I didn't provide a specific number.
Historic average rainfall in TV for the month of June – 7.18 inches
Actual 2014 rainfall total for the month of June in TV by village:
La Zamora - 5.89 inches
Caroline on Lake Sumter - 2.76 inches (Must be an equipment failure.)
The Villages of Gilchrist - 5.14 inches
Virginia Trace – 5.83 inches
Silver Lake - 5.93 inches
There are a few other official recording sites that I did not check. Throw me a village and I'll check for you. I am not sure how to grep the data I want all at once, so I have been manually checking.
Keep in mind that the above average rainfall can be skewed by tropical events which can drop enormous amounts of rainfall in a short period of time.
