Gutter and downspout size for Sorgho rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Sorgho the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.65 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,080 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,170, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
