The problem with wells is sediment. Every time it rains stuff filters down from the surface. Some places it is better like at the foot of mountains where there are sinks on top lots of leaf litter and lots of sand stone and limestone and so forth.
You must have a shallow well or a cracked casing if you're seeing anything in the water after a rainfall. Mine is 260' deep and it takes a long time before surface water gets to those depths.
We had a water column starting at about 50 ft all the way down to 200 ft.
anytime you have a lot of rain in mountainous areas you may see a rise in water in wells which are essentially underground springs that discharge finally at some pint or continue on and merge with other water flows underground. Look at any of the springs around. when it rains they flow more water. We get some real toad stranglers in this part of the Country. This is one reason it is important to protect sinks and small streams on our mountains but Developers could care less and damage or destroy a lot of People's water supply. This area is full of caves carved by underground water. I didn't chart any graphs but we did get some more sediment, which was still very little during rainy periods. Our well was cased very well and stopped at rock. It never ran dry. I watered our grass when it was dry incessantly.
