The region is bracing itself for another night of high winds and heavy rain as already saturated ground makes the prospect of localised flooding more likely.
The Environment Agency currently has 20 flood warnings in place across the south west and there are 51 flood alerts.
The aftermath of the recent weather is continuing to cause disruption, as Jeff Welch reports:
It's official - it's been the wettest year in England since records began - and some parts of the West have had a THIRD as much extra rain than average.
There's to be no let up for the end of year, with more rain forecast over the weekend.
There are currently 13 flood warnings in place for the south west.
