In heavy downpours, you may see your guttering struggle to cope with the amount of water running off the roof. Whether this is normal is usually determined by whether it's always been the case or has started to occur over time.
All gutters have a maximum capacity to drain, so if the rain falls fast than this ability to funnel water away, it's seen as an overflow, dripping or even cascading to the ground.
If this is happening regularly, you either need a bigger set of gutters installed around your roofline, or gutter cleaning could remove any obstructions and build up of dirt to allow the rain to drain away faster.
