Blustery winds are expected to hit England and Wales on Tuesday causing more misery to rain-soaked Britons.
Gusts of up to 50mph are expected in some regions, adding to the school holiday gloom caused by recent heavy downpours.
Meanwhile severe weather warnings remained in place for parts of Scotland, forecasters said.
People in the Grampian and Central, Tayside and Fife regions were warned to take extra care on the roads, with 15mm of rain expected to fall during a three-hour deluge in the early hours, according to the Met Office.
Wales and the South West are already subject to advisories warning of possible heavy rainfall and it is these regions that are expected to bear the brunt of the gusts.
Claire Austin, forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "It is going to be quite breezy today. We are expecting gusts of up to 40mph across England and Wales, perhaps even as high as 50mph. Rain will remain across Scotland. There will be some heavy bursts, but that isn't unusual."
The winds are due to die down by the evening.
Thorney Island in Hampshire saw the worst of the stormy weather with nearly 4cm of rain - half falling between midnight and 1am - and gale force eight winds (40mph).
Among the roads affected was the A249 in Kent where flooding forced the northbound carriageway to be temporarily closed between the junctions with the M2 and the A250.
Average August rainfall in southern England is between 6cm and 7cm.
