Flood alerts remain in place across the country, particularly in Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, where major incidents were declared yesterday.
Our North of England correspondent Katerina Vittozzi has been in Lincolnshire, where she said rescue teams have had "call-out, after call-out".
During filming, residents were disturbed by a shrill alert sent to their mobile phones, warning of severe flooding.

An update from Lincolnshire now, where, as we've reported over the past couple of days, a major incident was declared due to the weather.
While the situation across the county is "improving" and floodwaters are "starting to recede", it will "take time for water to return to normal", according to Lincolnshire Resilience Forum.
More than 20 flood warnings have been removed over the past 24 hours, the group added, and some road closures are being lifted.
A business owner in one of the worst-affected parts of the country said he's "never seen anything like it" as flooding reached up to his knees at the office.
Troy Stevens, chief executive at Rhino Trade Insurance, said he knew they'd been impacted when he saw 20 missed calls from colleagues on the way to work in Thurmaston, Leicestershire yesterday.
But he told The UK Tonight with Sarah-Jane Mee "nothing could prepare me for what we saw".
Laptops have been destroyed and their office rendered unworkable, leaving some of his staff unable to work.
"It's not what I expected to come back to after Christmas break on a Monday morning," he said, adding his firm, which insures tradespeople, will now be relying on those same tradespeople to get them up and running again.
"I think the worst is to come," he added. "And I think all we can do is kind of make the best of what we can do right now."
Leicestershire was one of two counties where a major incident was declared yesterday due to the weather, along with Lincolnshire.
And parts of the county in and around Thurmaston were hit by another flood a year ago, which Mr Stevens said should have helped authorities to mitigate damage this time around.
"It's easy to play the blame game, however, you'd like to think that if this was to have happened the year before, which it did do, there would be some form of investigation with a look for prevention," he said.
"Hopefully that can happen this time. As for kind of blaming local authorities or local councils, I'd like to see if they could do more following this incident, as opposed to looking backwards."
A rare severe flood warning for risk to life - which had covered a caravan park near Barrow upon Soar in Leicestershire - has been removed.
A flood warning remains in place, which means flooding is still expected and residents should seek higher ground, turn off gas and electricity and set up flood protection equipment.
We've been reporting today from the village and surrounding area, where residents told us they fear flooding is becoming the "new normal" - see our 12.24 post.
Another villager said he waited three hours on his boat home for emergency services to rescue him, his wife and their dog last night, when the deluge almost swept them away.
Barrow upon Soar is affected by one of 105 flood warnings currently in effect around England, with another 200 flood alerts, which mean flooding is possible.
Dozens in Loughborough in Leicestershire have been trapped after flooding caused damage to their properties.
One person, Duaa Abdulal, 25, who was visiting her mother's home for Christmas, said she did not expect to get "trapped" while staying there.
She told the PA news agency: "We're stuck upstairs. Last year my family managed to leave the building.
"Thankfully, today we managed to get everything upstairs when we got the flood warning.
"We're still recovering from last year, actually, we haven't finished refurbishing the house, so it's stressful."
Ms Abdulal said she hopes to leave the house on Wednesday when the water has receded.
It comes as a major incident was declared in Leicestershire and Lincolnshire after heavy rain and snow caused severe flooding in the Midlands.
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service responded to more than 380 calls on Monday and Tuesday because of widespread flooding in the county, attending 56 incidents.
As we approach 7pm, here are the yellow weather warnings in place overnight and into tomorrow.
North and west Scotland: A warning for snow and ice is in place until 12pm tomorrow. The Met Office warns that rain, sleet and snow may lead to travel disruption and icy patches across Aberdeen, the Highlands, Orkney and Shetland, and Strathclyde.
Northern Ireland: The Met Office says snow and ice may lead to some disruption to travel across Northern Ireland until 12pm tomorrow.
North and central England: A yellow ice warning for the east and west Midlands, northwest England, north Wales and Yorkshire came into effect at 5pm this evening and will end at midday tomorrow.
London, southwest and southeast England: A yellow weather warning for snow is in place from 9am until 11.59pm tomorrow. It effects the entire southern coast of England, from Kent to Cornwall, as well as parts of greater London.
It's not just the UK dealing with wintry weather conditions.
Some areas in the US have seen a foot of snow as Storm Blair makes its way across the country.
Some 30 states from the midwest to the east coast are under a weather alert, affecting some 60 million Americans.
Meanwhile, a state of emergency was declared in seven states. Some 1,300 flights were cancelled across the country and another 600 were delayed.

The River Wye's rising levels have prompted Wales's only flood warning to be issued on Tuesday.
Six flood alerts remain in other parts of the country - with residents urged to be prepared. There are currently no severe flood warnings in place in Wales.
The flood gates at Monmouth Rowing Club have been closed in case the Wye bursts its banks.
Richard Williams, 79, lives on a static caravan site near the rowing club.
He has lived there for 22 years but told Sky News that the number of times the River Wye floods has "increased in the last dozen years or so".
In 2020, the area was hit by both Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis, which was the only time Mr Williams and his neighbours were forced to evacuate their homes.
After those storms, the stilts beneath his caravan were raised further. He is reassured by the plans in place if the river does burst its banks.
"The local council, they obviously help us and put us into accommodation, which they did four years ago," he said.
The flood warning for the River Wye at Monmouth was issued after the initial flood alert was raised by Natural Resources Wales.
Mr Williams said the warnings were helpful to prepare for any potential flooding.
"Obviously now we've got the flood line emergency number to keep an eye on the levels," he added.
Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill has had many honours bestowed upon her - three-time world heptathlon champion, 2012 Olympic champion, a damehood.
But there is perhaps no greater than having a gritter truck named after Dame Jessica in her hometown of Sheffield.
Some 19 of Sheffield's gritters were named by the public and local schools in a competition in November.
Other winning names were Sled Leppard, Grit鈥檒l Be Reyt and Sir Gritsalot.
In a post on X, Dame Jessica was pictured with her namesake, which has been working hard in the wintry conditions.
The trend of giving gritters - used to clear the roads of ice and snow - comical names appeared to start in Scotland.
You can track vehicles including Ready, Spready, Go!, Taylor Drift, and William Wall-Ice.
You can follow all of Scotland's gritters .
