Flash flood is an extreme type of flood that is categorized within the fast kinds of riverine floods. The âflashâ attached to the term refers to its rapid effect. This type of flood is found to be the result of the convective moisture from the air or waters, like rain and snow that fall from the sky.
Rapid snow melt can bring more water into the hydrological system than can be adequately drained, leading to what is generally called spring floods. Heavy rainfall during the a tropical rainy season can lead to monsoon floods, which can affect rivers and may also occur as flash flooding.
