Most parts of the UK saw heavy rain overnight but no severe flooding is predicted.

Forecasters say rain will continue to clear away throughout Sunday from western Scotland, western Wales and eastwards.

A Met Office spokeswoman said East Anglia and South East England would see some rain.

And there will be more wet weather coming into the north west, Northern Ireland and Scotland on Sunday.

The Environment Agency does not expect any severe flooding in England or Wales as a result of the heavy rainfall.

Fewer flood warnings

By Sunday, the number of flood warnings had fallen from 28 on Saturday afternoon to just 16.

There were 12 flood warnings in the Midlands, one in Wales and three in Anglia.

The number of lower-grade flood watches across the country, which warn flooding in the area is possible, fell from 45 to 35, mainly in East Anglia.

On Sunday a spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "Most of the warnings were left over from the wet weather we had on Friday.

"There were reports of some low-level agricultural land being flooded but there's been no towns or villages flooded."

Rescue

The swollen watercourses have already caused problems for drivers, particularly in Wales.

Seventeen-year-old Elin Sion, of Eglwysbach, was forced to swim for her life after her car crashed into the overflowing River Conwy near Llanrwst, north Wales late on Friday.

Flood warnings

Anglia: 3 Midlands: 12 Wales: 1

She managed to struggle from the car into water, which was up to her neck, and swim against the strong current.

Two other people were rescued from a car after they were trapped in a flood near Machynlleth on Friday.

Firefighters towed the vehicle out of the water on the A487 after a woman raised the alarm on her mobile phone.

Icy roads

Flooding also blocked the rail line linking Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth and buses are being used to carry passengers around the obstruction.

The Environment Agency says the River Mease, which flows into the Trent in Staffordshire, is expected to flood farmland and main roads in the Clifton Campville area.

The Leam is likely to inundate fields around Royal Leamington Spa in Warwickshire and general flooding is possible in South and East Devon.

The Met Office also warned that there was a danger of icy roads in the north of Scotland, including Fife, Kinross, Aberdeen and Western Highlands.
