flood season
Rivers overflow annually
Flood season is the time of year when a region regularly experiences flooding, typically due to heavy rainfall, monsoons, or snowmelt.
Rivers swell, lowlands become inundated, and communities in flood-prone areas prepare accordingly: During flood season, the Mekong Delta becomes a vast inland sea.
The timing varies by geography—monsoon-driven in South Asia, spring thaw in northern climates.
