Floods come after a season of drought because when there is a drought, the land is dry and not very able to absorb large amounts of water. Then, when it DOES rain, the water cannot soak into the ground fast enough and instead spills over, creating flash floods.

Floods can occur after a season of drought due to several factors. One reason is that the ground becomes dry and hard during the drought, reducing its ability to absorb water. When heavy rain finally comes, the water cannot infiltrate the soil, resulting in increased runoff and thus, flooding. Additionally, in drought conditions, vegetation may have been depleted or dried up, resulting in a lack of vegetation cover that can normally help regulate water flow and prevent flooding.
