A man has died after becoming trapped in his car in floods as large parts of the UK were hit by strong winds and heavy rain.
Forecasters said there will be some respite today with fewer showers - but the bad weather is expected to continue this weekend.
Around 90 flood warnings for rivers are in place across England and Wales as well as more than 200 less serious flood alerts.
Hundreds of drivers were stranded, thousands of homes were without power and more than 100 people evacuated as winds reached more than 86mph.
In Somerset, emergency services received a call last night reporting a vehicle was wedged under a bridge near a ford in Chew Stoke.
Fire crews and police attended the scene and a man was found in the car and pronounced dead.
An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said officers were still trying to identify the victim.
The areas worst affected by the heavy downpours were Wales and south-west England.
But the majority of the UK was hit by the storms as they were pushed eastwards throughout the day, causing flash flooding.
