There are around 90 flood warnings across England and Scotland as wet winter continues.

Some parts of the UK have taken a real soaking this year, with Cornwall and County Down recording their wettest January on record.

It's also been particularly rainy in southern England, Northern Ireland and East Scotland.

Most of the flood warnings in place across the UK are for areas around Dorset and Somerset, especially places near rivers.

There are also concerns flooding might happen on the banks of the River Trent and the River Severn in the Midlands.

More rain is expected in England and Scotland throughout Wednesday into Thursday.

But change is on the way, with conditions expected to turn colder and drier by Friday.

Forecasters predict next week the weather will settle down in England, but will still be wet in west Scotland.

In the southwest of England - where the downpour has been very heavy - there will be drier and sunnier days.

If it feels like the rain just hasn't stopped where you live, you might be on to something.

Cardinham in Cornwall has recorded some rain every single day of the year so far.

In January, the UK was hit by three major storms – called Chandra, Goretti and Ingrid – which caused significant damage and disruption.

And February has also been very wet across much of the UK.

According to the Met Office - the UK's weather monitoring service - some parts of the UK recorded more rainfall in the first five days of the month than it would normally expect in the whole month.

One of the wettest places has been Aboyne in Aberdeenshire in Scotland, which had more than 130% of its usual February rainfall in only five days.

Flooding has had a big impact on homes and businesses this year, and hundreds of schools had to close for a few days because of travel problems and issues with power supplies.
