When to clean gutters in Bodega Bay

Gutter and downspout size for Bodega Bay rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Bodega Bay the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 4.28 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 6). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,680 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 3,360, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
