There are two severe flood warnings in Wales – in Pontypridd and Aberdulais – along with 53 flood warnings and 51 flood alerts.
After today’s downpours, the weather looks to clear up as Storm Dennis weakens this evening.
However, there is still one wind weather warning in place for Monday.
In effect until 11am, the warning covers all of Northern Ireland, Scotland, the north of England and the west coast of England.
The Met Office said: “Some very strong winds are likely in association with Storm Dennis.
“Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely quite widely within the warning area for much of the period. Gusts of 70 mph are likely at times, more especially across western Scotland on Sunday afternoon and evening, as well as in association with heavy showers elsewhere.
“A separate swathe of 70-75 mph gusts probably crossing the far north of Scotland and Orkney for a time early on Monday.”
