While more than 100 flood warnings were still in place across the UK this morning, the number has since fallen.
As of 4:30pm this afternoon, just 10 remained across England along with 57 flood alerts.
The map shows the majority of the most severe flood warnings in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, while one still remains on the Essex coast.
The Met Office and Environment Agency warned that localised river flooding impacts are possible from today until Friday along parts of the River Severn.
They also added that localised coastal and tidal flooding impacts are possible today and tomorrow along parts of the Essex coast.
Land, roads and some properties may flood and there could be travel disruption.
A spate of flood alerts are also in place across much of southern England where flooding is possible.
However, the alerts also extend as far north as the Lake District.
A yellow weather alert for wind, issued by the Met Office, was in place until 9am on Monday morning across the north and east of Scotland and northeast.
The notice warned travellers to brace for potential power cuts and longer journey times.
Storm Ashley, the first named storm of the season, also led to multiple sports fixtures being cancelled and postponed.
Several roads in the north of England, including the A66 between County Durham and the M6 at Cumbria were reopened early Monday morning after being closed due to strong winds.
Tens of thousands of homes remained without power on Sunday night after Storm Ashley swept across the island of Ireland.
Dublin and the Irish west coast also experienced significant outages on Sunday night where more than 50,000 people were left without power.
The hazardous conditions saw dozens of flights cancelled on Sunday, including at airports in Dublin and Belfast.
The Met Office said winds will ease slightly as Storm Ashley moves north east on Monday, with a mix of scattered showers and sunny spells expected in its wake.
The weather is likely to turn “unsettled” later in the week, bringing possible heavy rain and strong winds once more.
An eagerly anticipated beach motocross event in Gwynedd, Wales was cancelled as a result of the storm on Sunday.
