According to experts at the Met Office, the downpour is likely to continue until beyond 4pm on January 6 before gradually drying up.
A flood warning remains in force, however, for footpaths and low lying land and roads near Greatham Beck.
Tuesday, thankfully, is expected to be dry if cold with temperatures no higher than 3 degrees Celsius.
