More than 50 flood warnings are in place across England as snow gave way to heavy rain.
Fifty-eight warnings, meaning flooding is expected, are in force, mainly across Dorset, Somerset and the Midlands.
The flooding has affected rail services already hit by industrial action by train drivers.
A total of 175 flood alerts, where flooding is considered possible, have also been issued.
CrossCountry Trains said heavy flooding was blocking lines between Edinburgh Waverley and Newcastle, with the strike action adding to disruption.
Members of the train drivers' union, Aslef, at C2C and Greater Anglia have walked out as part of a series of rolling strikes affecting different companies on different days until 8 December. There is also an overtime ban lasting until 9 December.
Rail users in the South West were also warned flooding would affect services.
Great Western Railway said flooding had caused significant disruption on Monday and advised people not to travel between Bristol and Exeter or any trip between London Paddington and Devon or Cornwall.
Lines between Bristol Parkway and Swindon, and Westbury and Taunton are blocked by flooding, and trains are running on a diversionary route.
The company said: "We are expecting disruption between London Paddington and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall into Tuesday morning as floods subside."
Passengers on long-distance services were advised to avoid travelling by train if possible.
Flood warnings are in place along many rivers, including the Frome in Somerset, Avon and Axe, River Brit in West Dorset, and River Blythe in Warwickshire.
In Somerset, several secondary schools were opening late on Tuesday and at least four primaries were closed due to flooding.
In Warwickshire, flooding is expected along the River Swift in Rugby, and homes could be hit on two roads near the River Alne in the villages of Aston Cantlow and Great Alne.
A number of roads in Dorset were closed due to flood waters on Monday, including the A35, the main route through the county.
The Met Office said rain would ease across England and Wales throughout Tuesday, but another cold day would see wintry showers in the North and North West.
Cloud will remain overnight in the South and South East with frost and some freezing fog forming by dawn.
Met Office spokesman Grahame Madge said the risk of snow was lessening and would "more or less be confined to Scottish mountains" by the end of the week.
But the snow is continuing to make life difficult in Cumbria, as the heavy snowfall that hit the county over the weekend thaws.
Thousands of properties were left without electricity, cars were stranded on impassable roads and schools were forced to shut.
