Gutter and downspout size for Sewall's Point rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year.

At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 700 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,390, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
