A warning has been in place since 6pm on Sunday and will remain until 3pm on Monday, 15 December.
The warning said: “Spray and flooding on roads is probably making journey times longer, with bus and train services probably affected.
“There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads
“Some interruption to power supplies and other services is likely.
“Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible with a small chance of more significant flooding causing damage to some buildings.”
People are encouraged to avoid using low-lying footpaths and any bridges near watercourses where possible.
