Excellent question. We get fairly even rainfall throughout the year in the UK, so it's perhaps best to consider when evapotranspitation is lowest. This will be when the plants aren't growing and the sun's warming is weakest, in the winter. After a while these conditions cause waterlogging of the soil, let's say in Feb and March. So, any rainfall in these months is most likely to cause a flood!
Nice! Is there any time of the year when floods are more likely to happen?
