I'd be doing a little more fault finding first. if its overloading the
gutter, then it will still overload it surely? What is needed is some kind
of way to increase the capacity of the emptying of said gutter, say a second
downpipe.

I have a rainwater downpipe which comes down from a gutter and discharges
onto a sloping tiled roof below a dormer window. At the bottom edge of the
roof is another gutter with, naturally enough, its own downpipe. All this
in conventional uPVC.

When the rain is heavy and the wind strong, the run-off from the
intermediate downpipe is blown off the edge of the tiles and cascades
down. I'd like to add an extra pipe run to direct the water straight into
the lower gutter, but is there a reliable way of fixing it to the (heavy
clay) tiles? Are there custom-made clips or similar? Or a practical DIY
solution?

Many thanks.
