A total of three warnings about severe floods in Cumbria have been downgraded by the Environment Agency.
Warnings regarding the River Cocker at Cockermouth and Southwaite Bridge - as well as one about the River Greta at various points - have now been removed.
However, the severe flood warning placed on the River Eamont in certain areas is still in force.
People in the area have been urged by the police and the Environment Agency to remain vigilant despite the downgrading of the warnings.
Superintendent Steve Johnson explained that structures and roads have been damaged by the deep water and urged people never to use bridges that have been closed off.
The Environment Agency warned that more heavy rain is yet to come.
At present, there are 79 flood warnings active in England and Wales.
Severe flood warnings mean people should take action such as preparing to leave their homes and turning off their utilities.
