In the Hills, Ashton has the highest reading at 150mm for the month, Piccadilly has had 103mm and Uraidla is sitting on an even 100mm. On the Fleurieu Peninsula, Mount Compass has received 114mm.
But, some areas have received more modest rainfall so far this month.
This includes Berri and Renmark on 6.8mm and 6mm respectively, and Loxton with 11. Sedan has received 12.2mm in May.
The Upper South East and southern Mallee were also among the lower totals - with Pinnaroo on 11.3mm, Lameroo on 12.8mm and Keith on 15.9mm.
