Heavy rain has continued across parts of the UK, bringing more flooding and travel disruption.
According to the Met Office, some counties in southern and central England have had more than 250% of their average September rainfall.
Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon said a low-pressure system centred on the heart of the UK had brought the strong winds and heavy rain.
Heavy rain will be replaced by dry spells across much of the UK in a brief respite before a wet weekend, the Met Office said.
