The Met Office has declared this month as the wettest February on record.
The UK average rainfall for the month was 202.1mm, beating the February 1990 figure of 193.4mm.
Large swathes of the country were hit by flooding when Storm Ciara, Storm Dennis and Storm Jorge struck the UK.
Record rainfall submerged communities in the Midlands and west, including Ironbridge, Shropshire, and Bewdley, Worcestershire, where emergency evacuations took place when the River Severn burst its banks.
Storm Ciara swept in on February 9, bringing heavy rain and winds of up to 97mph.
Some places saw more than seven inches of rain fall in a single weekend.
Storm Dennis followed hot on the heels of Ciara, ravaging the UK over the next weekend.
Shocking pictures showed the impact of the deluge, with some areas completely submerged in water.
Britain's flooded towns and villages were hammered by further rainfall when Storm Jorge made landfall this weekend.
The storm has already brought a night of heavy rainfall, causing chaos in several communities across the Midlands and west of the UK.
Overnight the River Aire in Snaith overflowed too, causing significant damage to nearby properties.
Dramatic pictures emerged this morning, showing residents in the east Yorkshire town being evacuated by emergency service personnel in rubber dinghys.
Early this morning, South Wales Police declared a "critical incident" after sections of the River Taff in the Pontypridd area of Cardiff came dangerously close to flooding surrounding homes and businesses.
The same area was flooded just less than a fortnight ago.
There are four yellow weather warnings in force across the UK today and tomorrow.
There are also two active snow alerts in Scotland and two wind warnings in Northern Ireland, parts of south Scotland, the whole of Wales and central, north and the southern coast of England.
