More rain is on the way today after a weekend of heavy downpours caused flooding in many parts of the country, leaving sections of the transport network struggling to cope.
The Environment Agency recorded 85 localised flood warnings across England and Wales as at 5.20am on Monday, and 203 alerts for possible flooding.
"There will be another spell of rain across much of the UK on Monday," Met Office meteorologist Mark Wilson said.
"There are warnings in force for Wales and western England.
"In England there are 72 localised flood warnings and 180 flood alerts, and in Wales there are 13 localised flood warnings and 23 flood alerts," he said.
After a brief respite on Sunday morning, the north of England was forecast to receive up to 70mm of rain in 24 hours, causing treacherous travel conditions.
London and the south is expected to also get hit by rain later this afternoon and tonight.
The Met Office said Northern Ireland and Scotland are due some more sunshine after a fairly bright day on Sunday.
Parts of England and Wales could see highs of 19C (66.2F) or 20C (68F) on Monday, a little above average for the time of year, but this would be masked by the wind and rain.
