Momentarily exceeded flap speed for flaps one due to turbulent air in the area.While descending and slowing shortly after a moderate turbulence event the flaps one speed was briefly exceeded.Give more of an airspeed buffer in turbulent weather.
FO was flying pilot. While descending into ZZZZ and deviating around convective activity; FO checked airspeed and called for flaps 1. Shortly thereafter; speed increased into the zipper. Maybe 5 knots but no more than 10.FO had not flown in a long time; lacked confidence and called for flaps way too early in an effort to get down and slow down.FO needs to fly more.
Air carrier flight crew reported turbulence and a flap overspeed. One crew member reported the flying pilot had not flown for an extended period of time.
