You would convert rainfall into inches and then into gallons per minute by using a series of calculations. You first ned to determine how much rain is falling in inches by collecting it in a container.

To convert rainfall from inches to gallons per minute, you need to know the area over which the rain is falling in square feet. Multiply the rainfall in inches by the area in square feet, then divide by 231 to convert to gallons. Finally, divide by the duration in minutes to get gallons per minute.
No, standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) is a measure of gas flow rate, while inches of water is a unit of pressure. The two units cannot be directly converted into each other as they measure different physical quantities.
GPM only represents the volume of water, and you cannot deduce pressure from that alone. You would need to include line diamiter to the GPM to have enough data to deduce pressure. Fancy math would then follow.
To convert gallons per minute (GPM) to pounds (lbs), you need to know the specific density of the substance you are working with. The conversion formula is: Weight (lbs) = Flow rate (GPM) x Density (lbs/gallon). By multiplying the flow rate in GPM by the density of the substance in pounds per gallon, you can determine the weight in pounds per minute.
425 centimeters per hour equals 2.8 (2.78871391) inches per minute.
Assuming all the water becomes steam in that 1 minute: 1 gallon = 0.13368 cubic feet and the volumetric expansion of water into steam is 1675. Therefore 1 gallon of water will produce 1675 x 0.13368 = 223.914 cubic feet of steam. Which would also be 223.914 cubic feet per minute since the water is evaporated in 1 minute.
