The UK has suffered its wettest winter in records dating back more than a century, the Met Office has announced.
Figures for December 1 to February 19 show that the UK has had 486.8mm (19.2 inches) of rain, making it the wettest winter in records dating back to 1910, beating the previous record set in 1995 of 485.1mm (19.1 inches).
Wales, East Scotland, south west England and South Wales, and south east and central southern England have all seen record amounts of rainfall this winter, and all countries and areas of the UK are on target for a warmer than average winter.
Two severe flood warnings remain in place in the Somerset Levels, which has been one of the worst-hit areas this winter, suffering prolonged flooding in the face of repeated storms and heavy rain.
Across the rest of southern and central England, the risk of flooding is receding as river levels fall, including along the Thames and Severn, the Environment Agency said.
But properties in areas including Windsor and Maidenhead, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Wokingham and West Berkshire could remain flooded for some time.
And with more unsettled weather on the way, the risk of flooding will be slow to disappear, the Environment Agency warned.
There are 75 flood warnings, and 121 less serious flood alerts currently in place across England and Wales. Groundwater is continuing to rise, with ongoing flooding in parts of Greater London, Kent, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset.
Met Office spokeswoman Laura Young said showers and some heavier rain are expected, along with sunny spells, over the next few days, and a band of rain will go across the UK on Sunday, mainly focusing on the West.
Rain will fall as snow on high ground, and west and north-west exposed coasts could see some strong, near-gale winds, but "not anywhere as windy as it has been over the last few weeks", she said.
"This is weather, rather than exceptional weather. It's unsettled, but February unsettled. It is standard weather for this time of year and nothing like the extreme and exceptional weather we've seen over the last couple of months," she added.
