When to clean gutters in Land O' Lakes

Gutter and downspout size for Land O' Lakes rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Land O' Lakes the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.56 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 750 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,510, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
