A rain gutter cover system (10) constructed in accordance with the principles of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is disclosed. The system (10) is configured for directably collecting rain water running off of the roof (R) of a building (B) while substantially preventing undesired debris from entering the gutter (16). The system (10) broadly includes a gutter assembly (12) and a cover assembly (14) coupled to, and covering, the gutter assembly (12). The cover assembly (14) includes a one piece screen (20) and a plurality of fluted perforations (22) formed in the screen (20). The fluted perforations (22) are each particularly configured to draw water through the screen (20) without allowing undesired debris through the screen (20) and each includes a channel (40) recessed into the screen (20) and a corresponding hole (42) defined in the downhill end of the channel (40). A valley segment (210) of the system is also disclosed and includes a plurality of bull-nose ledges (212, 214, 216, 218 and 220), each guarding a plurality of fluted perforations (222) along the valley of a roof.
