Gutter and downspout size for Woodworth rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Woodworth the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.37 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 690 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.
