The peak of a flood occurs after a storm primarily due to the time it takes for rainfall to runoff into rivers and streams. When it rains, water accumulates on the ground and flows into drainage systems, tributaries, and waterways, which then carry it downstream. The lag time between the storm's heaviest rainfall and the arrival of that water at a downstream location results in the flood peak occurring after the storm has ended. Additionally, factors like soil saturation, terrain, and the size of the watershed can influence this timing.
What else can I help you with?
Is there always a lag between the center of the mass of a storm and the peak discharge of a stream?
Your question makes no sense, the center of mass of a storm is a spacial reference point and the peak discharge of a stream is a time. When rain falls on the ground, it takes time for the rain to accumulate and flow into a stream thus there is always a lage between the time of the rainfall and the build up of flow in the stream.

Why is a storm hydrograph useful?
A storm hydrograph is useful because it shows how a watershed responds to a storm event by plotting discharge over time. This helps in predicting peak flows, assessing flood risk, and designing infrastructure to manage stormwater effectively. It also provides valuable information for watershed management and water resource planning.

Why do rock falls occur on chapman's peak?
Rock falls occur on Chapman's Peak in part due to weather. Heavy rains can cause rocks to shift, move, and fall.
What is an attenuated peak in a storm hydrograph?
Firstly an attenuation is the reduction in the peak of a hydro-graph as it movesdownstream, resulting in a more broad, flat hydro-graph.Therefore the attenuated peak is the highest point before it attenuates.
When can you see a leonid storm?

The peak (most active) month for a hurricanes is?
The peak month for hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean is typically September. This is when ocean temperatures are warmest, providing the necessary heat and moisture to fuel storm development. While hurricanes can occur from June through November, the highest frequency of intense storms usually occurs in late summer and early fall.
What is the catergory of hurricane Allison?
Allison was a tropical storm and never became a Hurricane. At peak intensity Tropical Storm Allison had winds of 60 mph. A storm needs winds of at least 74 mph to be a hurricane.
