A 3-hour storm occurred at a place and the precipitation in the neighboring rain-gage stations P, Q and R were measured as 3.8, 4.1 and 4.5 cm respectively. The precipitation in the neighboring station S could not be measured since the rain gauge was damaged. The normal annual precipitation in the four stations P, Q, R and S were 45, 48, 53 and 50 cm, respectively. Estimate the storm precipitation at station 'S'.
