Britain is set for more showers putting more pressure on flood-hit communities, with many people still unable to return to their submerged homes.
Across December, January and February, the country was deluged with an average total of 469.7mm of rain - the fifth wettest on record while February was the dampest since records began.
But with springtime on the horizon, Britons are still feeling the impact of a flurry of major storms in quick succession and many people - including those Snaith and East Cowick, in East Yorkshire - cannot go home.
Authorities there have told desperate residents the water levels are unlikely to rise again but the Met Office has warned of "showers in many areas" on Tuesday, including many northern and western parts of the UK.
While snow could make an appearance in Scotland and northern England, on top of a few icy stretches.
The Environment Agency has put in place 67 flood warnings and 123 alerts today.
The Met Office said Tuesday would be "another chilly day with a mixture of sunny spells and showers.
“Heaviest and most frequent showers in the north and west. Less breezy than today.”
Fiona Walker had to evacuate her 80-year-old mum Maureen Cooper from her home in East Cowick where she lived alone, before it was entirely submerged on Friday.
The 58-year-old had to rescue her mum's cats, medication and clothes and even her own wedding dress which is at her mum's house before her wedding in three weeks.
"My mum's whole life is in that house, eight decades of possessions and memories. It's invaluable and no money will bring them back.
"Someone needs to be held accountable for this. There should have been plans put in place to avoid any of this."
More than 3,300 properties in England are thought to have been flooded as a result of Storms Ciara, Dennis and Jorge, the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs said.
The Government has said it is investing £2.6 billion in flood defences by 2021.
And while the winter was very wet, it was also one of the warmest on record as well, despite temperatures at times plummeting below zero.
As well as being particularly wet, the three months from December 2019 to February 2020 were exceptionally mild, with a provisional mean temperature across the country of 5.28C.
It means five of the UK's 10 warmest winters on record have all been in the past seven years: 2013/14, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2018/19 and now 2019/20.
The warmest winter, based on data that goes back to 1884, occurred in 1988/89, which saw a mean temperature of 5.80C.
The mixture of mild temperatures and wet conditions over the past few months has been caused by a very strong jet stream high in the atmosphere, which has been further south than normal.
This has allowed a succession of Atlantic storm systems to cross the UK, including Storms Ciara, Dennis and Jorge.
The Met Office says a direct link between the wet weather and climate change is difficult to make, because rainfall patterns in the UK have always shown a large range of natural variation in the long-term.
But they point out that there is a trend towards wetter winters, which is consistent with what is expected to happen in the future with continued climate change.
BBC Weather forecast Simon King said: “Throughout this week it’s not going to be as wet as it has been. Sunshine and showers, not quite as windy. But it will feel quite chilly at times with some overnight frosts.”
He added: “As we move into the end of the week it might start to turn unsettled again. One weather front clearing its way through on Friday another one will move its way in over the weekend.”
Looking forward to the rest of this month, the Met Office’s long-range forecast, in place from Friday, March 6 to Sunday, March 15 begins by warning about “wintry showers” towards the end of this week.
It warns: “Wintry showers Friday, particularly in the west and north with hill snow and strong winds in the north also. Drier with sunny spells in the south.”
