I think so, but who knows?. Without running two weather stations and comparing both results, how would you know? Heck, we don't even have two thermometers that agree with each other.
I actually replaced the weather station sending unit sometime in late December last year because the original one had failed registering any precipitation completely. Then on the first and second of the year we had quite a deluge.

The small rain storms we had since then would plausibly add up to 10 inches overall. Just yesterday alone added 1.5 inches. So the total for the year seems to be consistent. It has been a pretty crappy year, weatherwise, so far. I had to buy a new dehumidifier for the garage because the old one didn't seem to be working all that well. Well, the new one isn't doing much better, and I think it is just because of how high the humidity level has been here. It's 97 percent right now, and it's been that way for quite a long time.
Forecast is showing a pretty good chance of rain almost every day for the next week here. So all the evidence I am seeing pretty much supports what the weather station is claiming. Plus or minus 10 percent, of course.
