seasonal flood
Yearly river overflow
A seasonal flood is a predictable rise in water levels that occurs at roughly the same time each year, typically driven by snowmelt, monsoon rains, or regular weather patterns.
Rivers like the Nile historically flooded seasonally, depositing fertile silt on agricultural land.
Unlike flash floods, seasonal floods follow expected cycles: Farmers along the river planned their planting around the seasonal flood.
