Brockenhurst in Hampshire
Several people have been rescued from their vehicles and trains have been cancelled after torrential rain.
Trains between Liskeard and Looe in Cornwall and between Bournemouth and Brockenhurst in Hampshire are affected.
The Cornish villages of Polbathic, Altarnun, St Keverne, Gunwalloe, Gorran Haven and Mevagissey are also flooded.
The Met Office expects more rain across England and the Environment Agency has issued 189 flood alerts and 30 flood warnings around the UK.
Two people were rescued by a police community support officer from their car, which became submerged in a ford on the Sway to Brockenhurst Road in Hampshire.
A number of other vehicles got stuck in flood water, with Hampshire, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall fire services all called to incidents.
Fire crews have also rescued a driver trapped by flood water in Bude, Cornwall, and Hampshire firefighters have rescued six people stuck in vehicles in Fareham, Brockenhurst, Ringwood, Wallington and Waterlooville.
Flood defences have been put up in Worcestershire with river levels rising on the Severn and Avon.
Weather information
From the BBC:
Elsewhere:
More than 100 Cornwall Council staff were out overnight helping residents whose properties had been flooded.
David Owens, who has been directing operations on behalf of the council, said: "It's been very busy, not as bad as 24 and 25 November, but still pretty unpleasant.
'Busy up to Christmas'"Looking at the weather forecast, we are going to be busy up to Christmas.
"The problem is that the water has nowhere to go because the ground is so saturated."
An Environment Agency spokesperson said: "Large swathes of southern and south-western England, south-east Wales and the Midlands are being warned to prepare for flooding.
"Successive bands of heavy rain are moving across England and Wales, and with the ground already saturated, this is likely to lead to property flooding from rivers and surface water as well as disruption to road and rail networks.

"Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, West Sussex and Northamptonshire are particularly at risk."
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue manager Alex Hanson said: "It is impossible for motorists to tell how deep water is or the condition of the ground beneath.
"There is a significant risk to life if motorists become stranded. We recommend that people do not make non-essential journeys... if they live in areas prone to flooding."
