As Storm Conall passed over England, nearly 50mm of rain fell on Dartmoor and 20-30mm in some other parts of southern England.

But many of the areas that were flooded during Storm Bert saw less rain with totals at around 3mm-8mm, so further problems were averted.

The rain was linked to a developing area of low pressure crossing west to east across southern England.

The upcoming days will see higher pressure, which will bring dry weather across flooded areas, allowing time for the flood water to disappear.

In parts of south-east England, trains were cancelled along three routes due to flooded tracks, while five other routes were facing disruption on Wednesday morning.

Gatwick Express trains will continue to see delays and cancellations into the evening, with the service advising commuters who use the service to start return journeys as soon as possible due to disruptions.

Thameslink passengers travelling to Welwyn Garden City have been advised to use alternate routes due to some suspended services, while others are still reduced.

The worst of Conall is being felt in the Netherlands. Stronger winds were felt in eastern England later on Wednesday as the storm developed over the North Sea.

Flood warnings – which mean flooding is expected – remain concentrated along the River Severn, from Shropshire into Gloucestershire, the Bristol Avon, as well as the River Nene in Northamptonshire.

A severe flood warning for the Billing Aquadrome holiday park – where a major incident was declared over the weekend – and nearby businesses along the Nene remained in place until late Wednesday afternoon.

Emsworth, in Hampshire, has also recorded a water level in the West Brook area as “high and rising rapidly”, with heavy rain expected to reach nearly 40mm.

There are 150 flood alerts in place in England – meaning flooding is possible – and two in Wales.
