Almost 100 flood warnings remain in place across England as rivers continue to swell from the heavy rain.
The downpours and gusts of up to 65mph will continue this afternoon, with the south west and the north of England most at risk from further flooding havoc, weather experts have said.
A canoeist died after being pulled from a fast-flowing swollen river by firefighters and mountain rescue volunteers in the River Arkle, near Reeth in the Yorkshire Dales, on Sunday.
The Environment Agency has around 87 flood warnings and more than 289 flood alerts in place, with river levels expected to swell further as successive bands of rain sweep the country.
All of England, Wales and Scotland, apart from possibly Kent, is expected to endure wet weather, with west and north England and north and west Scotland bearing the brunt of the heavy and persistent rain where up to 25mm will fall.

Gemma Plumb, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "Many places should start dry and sunny this morning.
"But by the end of the day all but maybe Kent would have seen some rain as a series of fronts move eastwards bringing this heavy rain.
"The heavy more persistent rain will be in the north and south west of England, bringing a risk of flooding.
"There will also be some very strong winds, with gusts of up to 50mph across most areas but up to 65mph in northern and western areas."
