Gutter and downspout size for Ocean Acres rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Ocean Acres the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.70 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,070 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,150, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
