A flood is caused by a combination of heavy rainfall. causing river / oceans to over flow their banks, and can. happen at any time of the year, not just in the winter. Floods generally develop over a period of. days, when there is too much rainwater to fit. in the rivers and water spreads over the land.
Flooding may occur as an overflow of water from water bodies, such as a river, lake, or ocean, in which the water overtops or breaks levees, resulting in some of that water escaping its usual boundaries, or it may occur due to an accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground in an areal flood.
