The long average flood duration in January comes from a high number of long floods (> 21 days) in the Southern hemisphere. In April the average duration is also pretty high, but the long duration floods are scattered all over the world. In July this long duration floods are concentrated in South-East Asia. And in August these monsoonal floods are completed by some African ones (in the Northern Hemisphere of the continent).
