Forecasters are predicting a month's worth of rain to fall today.
The bad weather is already causing problems. Two sinkholes have appeared on the M25, a major motorway near London meaning Police had to close parts of the road in both directions.
A total of 31 flood alerts are in place across the country, with some areas set to see up to 60mm of rain, particularly over the first half of the day.
June is now likely to be the wettest on record, with yellow weather warnings issued for the coming week.
