The Met Office has issued series of National Severe Weather Warnings for the rest of Monday and Tuesday for heavy rain in southwestern England, northern England and Wales.
Andy Page, a Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “Following periods of heavy rain, a further broad area of heavy, persistent rain will extend across southwestern England and Wales on Monday. Devon, which has already experienced heavy rainfall, is most likely to have the greatest impacts. Although the more persistent rain should clear from Devon by early afternoon, heavy and possibly thundery showers are likely to follow.”
“Around 20-30 mm of rain is expected fall in a three to six-hour period in places, with as much as 40-60 mm possible locally through the whole of Monday. The ground has been left very wet from Saturday night's rain and this increases the risk of further flooding.”
Andy added: “The band of rain affecting parts of southern England and Wales on Monday will extend to northern England later on Monday and into Tuesday morning.”
The Environment Agency (EA) has urged the public stay safe around rivers and not to drive through flood water, as rain battered many parts of the country.
Chris Francis, of the EA, told ITV News that rivers in the south west of England are "very swollen" due to heavy rain, so people should remain very cautious.
"We've had so much rain, and debris in the river has got caught up with all the flooding. Hopefully the rain should stop soon. The water seems to be flowing clearly under the river now, so it should start to recede fairly soon."
Last year, farmers experienced numerous devastating storms, which caused the government to set up a flooding Recovery Fund.
