Where is flooded in the UK? Flood map and Met Office alert explained
Forty-nine flood warnings and 174 flood alerts are currently in place across England as heavy rain continues to disrupt travel across the country.
Local flooding is possible from rivers and surface water across parts of the North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber, according to the Met Office.
Land, roads and some properties may flood and there may be travel disruption, it warns.
Elsewhere, yellow weather warnings are in place for Edinburgh and the far north of Scotland, where temperatures fell as low as minus 10C overnight.
Which areas of the UK are flooded?
On Monday, parts of Somerset and Dorset were badly affected by flooding, with the River Frome in Dorchester bursting its banks.
And on Tuesday morning, several secondary schools were opening late and at least four primaries were closed due to flooding.
Flood warnings are in place along many rivers, including the Frome in Somerset, Avon and Axe, River Brit in West Dorset, and River Blythe in Warwickshire.
In Warwickshire, flooding is expected along the River Swift in Rugby, and homes could be hit on two roads near the River Alne in the villages of Aston Cantlow and Great Alne.
Elsewhere, heavy snowfall in Cumbria has left thousands without electricity, shut schools and seen cars stranded on impassable roads.
How is the weather affecting trains?
CrossCountry Trains said services between Derby and Long Eaton would see trains running at reduced speeds due to flooding, with delays and possible diversions expected.
Heavy flooding blocking lines between Edinburgh Waverley and Newcastle has now been cleared, however.
Rail users in the south-west of England have also been warned that flooding would affect services.
Great Western Railway said flooding had caused significant disruption on Monday that was continuing into Tuesday.
The line between Bristol Parkway and Swindon is blocked, with trains running on a diversionary route. The line between Taunton and Westbury is also blocked due to flooding.
Passengers on long-distance services were advised to avoid travelling by train if possible in the morning.
What is the UK weather forecast this week?
The Met Office said rain would ease across England and Wales throughout Tuesday, but another cold day would see wintry showers in the North and North West.
Cloud will remain overnight in the South and South East with frost and some freezing fog forming by dawn.
Met Office spokesman Grahame Madge said the risk of snow was lessening and would āmore or less be confined to Scottish mountainsā by the end of the week.
From Thursday, however, the weather is forecast to become wetter, windier and milder.
Spells of heavy rain and showers are expected with brisk winds and risk of coastal gales.
