The environmental agency issued over 100 flood warnings over the last 24 hours with seven active in place following rainfall on Saturday, meaning there continues to be a high risk of flooding.
The warnings in northern England apply to areas surrounding the River Eden in Carlisle, and the River Ure in Yorkshire.
Three men had to be helped to safety from car in Swindon after being trapped by rising flood water, said Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service.
The flooding in the north-west of England and West Midlands led to travel disruption as trees blocked roads and streets became submerged, but flood alerts have since been removed.

“Conversely, in the north, where we have a bit more of a breeze, temperatures will be struggling in the high single figures, and we could see frost in rural parts of the country”.
Chalk said: “For the vast majority, it’s fine, it’s dry , it’s more settled with plenty in the way of sunny spells
“Otherwise, temperatures are still going to be below average for the time of year, but we will have lighter winds compared to what we see on Sunday.”
Hosepipe ban could last until next year
Meanwhile, Thames Water have said that their hosepipe ban will continue, despite the increased rainfall.
The ban, which currently impacts 1.1million people, will stretch into Autumn as “water resources will take time to recover”.
The measure first came into place across Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire in July after a lack of rain depleted resources.
The Met Office said recently that Summer 2025 was the hottest on record, and that the UK had received only half of its average rainfall over the past month.
Nevil Muncaster, strategic water resources director at Thames Water, said: “We’ve welcomed the rain over the past few weeks, which has helped the rivers we use to top up our reservoirs, however most of this rainfall has been soaked up by the excessively dry ground and hasn’t had a notable impact to the groundwater levels, which feed the River Thames”.
