Gutter and downspout size for Verdi rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Verdi the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 2.84 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 1). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 2,540 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 5,070, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook. Try your own roof in the gutter and downspout calculator, which starts from this figure.
