Answer: Name of the flooding season in egypt​ is Akhet.

Step-by-step explanation: Akhet - (June-September): The Flooding Season. No farming was done at this time, as all the fields were flooded.

Akhet (flooding), Peret (planting), and Shemu (harvesting). The flooding season lasted from June to September, depositing on the river's banks the silt for growing crops. After the flood waters had receded, the growing season lasted from October to February.

Peret was the season in which the land was plowed and the crops were planted. This season lasted the equivalent of five modern months, October through February. The very next month began Shemu, the season of the harvest.
