More than 60 flood warnings remain in place across the UK as torrential rain sees cars submerged and sewage pipes break.
The Environment Agency have issued 64 flood warnings for parts of the south west of England as Met Office weather warnings for rain stretch into Herefordshire and Shropshire.
Many of the warnings are around the River Avon, including Bradford on Avon, Burrowbridge, Chippenham and Malmesbury.
Other warnings for groundwater flooding include Crane, Devils Brook and Ebble Valley.
Further warnings have been issued for regions around the River Seven, River Exe and the River Ouse.
In Gloucestershire, businesses and homes experienced severe flood damage, with cars submerged in roads and residents reporting seeing sewage running through the street.
And in Ironbridge and Shrewsbury in Shropshire and Bewdley in Worcestershire, flood barriers have been put up in an attempt to stop the River Severn bursting its banks.
On Wednesday, Mark Garratt, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, said: “Continued heavy rainfall across England means that minor localised surface water and river flooding is probable in parts of the Midlands and the South West of England today, with impacts potentially continuing throughout the week.
“With the ground already saturated, communities in these areas should check their flood risk.
“The Environment Agency is monitoring flood levels, operating flood gates and barriers at locations across the country, and ensuring debris screens are clear from blockages to ensure communities are better protected.
“We advise people to stay away from swollen rivers and urge people not to drive through flood water as just 30 cm of flowing water is enough to move your car.”
It comes amid fears from the Met Office that communities may also be cut off by flooded roads.
Meteorologist Aidan McGivern said: “The jet stream is approaching the UK from the west and sending us further areas of low pressure, with tightly packed isobars across the UK.
“That continues to be the case as further low-pressure systems deepen and get sent in from the west.
“It’s going to stay blustery, with some strong gusts in the west in particular and these lows will continue to send us outbreaks of rain and showers heading into the weekend.
“With all that wet weather coming in, there are concerns, particularly for those areas that have already seen so much rain across western England and Wales.
“The wettest weather is likely to see 60-80mm falling across the Brecon Beacons and Exmoor.”
Natural Resources Wales has issued eight flooding warnings, along parts of The River Severn, River Vyrnwy and River Teme, and 38 flood alerts.
Roads in Cardiff have been left submerged following heavy rain, as Natural Resources Wales warns that flooding is expected in many parts, as it has issued flood warnings.
Several roads across Wales have also been closed as a result of fallen trees as strong winds and heavy rain continue to batter Wales. Train services also seeing major delays.
