Flood warnings still remain in place across Dorset.
The Environment Agency issued a warning on Monday for possible flooding of roads and low lying land due to heavy rain brought by Storm Ashley.
As of today, Wednesday October 23, a flood alert remains in place near the Lower Dorset Frome, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around tributaries between Dorchester and Wareham.
Groundwater levels in West Dorset have risen in response to recent rainfall and are still expected to remain high with flooding of fields and roads possible.
A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: "We are closely monitoring the situation
"Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses.
"Please do not drive through floodwater as bow waves may affect adjacent properties.
"Stay away from floodwater - it contains hidden dangers such as open manhole covers, sewage and chemicals."
