When to clean gutters in Pharr
Frost is rare in Pharr, and in many years there is none (NOAA normals). With no hard freeze to strip the trees, the fall cleaning follows the leaf drop itself; book it once the trees over the roof are bare, and plan a second visit in spring.

Gutter and downspout size for Pharr rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Pharr the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.43 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 760 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,530, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
