Gutter and downspout size for Rio Pinar rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Rio Pinar the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.75 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 820 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,650, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
