Flood-hit areas have been warned they face renewed problems from storms, as further rain is forecast across the UK.
There are 82 flood warnings and 185 flood alerts in England and Wales, and six flood alerts in Scotland.
The main rail line in the South West of England, which was closed between Exeter St Davids and Tiverton due to flooding, is expected to reopen later.
Meanwhile, Met Office figures suggest 2012 is set to be one of the wettest years since records began in 1910.
It said just 46mm of rain was needed to fall before 31 December to make this year the wettest on record for the UK overall, with 1,291.2mm recorded between 1 January and 26 December.
A new record has already been set for England with 1,095.8mm falling in the year up to Boxing Day.
Localised floodingBBC weather forecaster Mike Silverston said much of the UK would see heavy rain and strong winds heading into the weekend.
Up to 40mm of rain is expected fall in the South West on Saturday, with Wales and areas of north-west England expected to see between 60-80mm.
He said because of the continuing saturated state of the ground this might lead to further localised flooding.
A number of flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected and immediate action should be taken, and flood alerts, calling on people to be prepared for possible flooding, are expected to remain in place.
There are currently no severe flood warnings, which signal a danger to life.
The Environment Agency said some 520 properties had flooded since Wednesday.
Buses continue to replace trains between Liskeard and Looe in Cornwall, with the line possibly opening on Saturday, National Rail said.
Services also continue to be disrupted between Exeter St Davids and Exmouth, and Exeter St Davids and Barnstaple.
The Thames Barrier was raised on Thursday morning to keep the high tide out of London and reduce the risk of flooding as water from days of downpours causes high levels further upstream.
An amber landslide warning was put in place by the British Geological Survey has for the South West, who urged walkers to take care along coastal routes.
