NOAA Atlas 14 gives this location a 100-year 24-hour depth of 5.41 inches, of which 1.58 inches can fall in a single hour. Roof area is the fastest-responding surface on a lot, so gutter capacity and the point where leaders let go are governed by that one-hour burst rather than by season-long totals.
Once the roof water is carried away, the rest of the yard is covered by yard and landscape drainage in Menifee.

Downspout & Gutter Drainage questions from Menifee customers
- Menifee does not get much rain. Why do downspouts matter here?
- Intensity, not annual total. NOAA Atlas 14 gives this location a 2-year 1-hour depth of 0.51 inches and a 100-year 1-hour depth of 1.58 inches, against a 100-year 24-hour depth of 5.41 inches. Close to a third of a design day's rain can arrive inside sixty minutes, and a roof concentrates that into a handful of outlets faster than any other surface on the lot.
- Where should downspouts discharge on a Menifee lot?
- Menifee's code directs lot drainage from the backyard through the side yard and front yard to the abutting street where feasible, and requires drainage facilities to reach a drainage way approved by the City Engineer or Public Works Director. A leader that stops at a splash block short of that path returns its volume to the soil beside the foundation.
- Is a buried pop-up emitter or dry well a good landing point for roof water here?
- Buried disposal only works if the ground takes water at a useful rate. A Menifee tentative tract's hydrology report rated site soils Hydrologic Soil Group D, and a Menifee Valley Specific Plan environmental document described very low permeability formational soils under compacted fill. Where that holds, an emitter that daylights at a lower elevation is doing conveyance work, which is what these soils allow.
