Two flood warnings are still in place and 8 flood alerts are also set across Cumbria as some river levels have risen in the wake of Storm Gareth. 

Surface water is also causing problems, and motorists are warned to take extra care.

The Met Office has also issued a yellow warning as Storm Gareth is also bringing strong winds across from Ireland, continuing throughout today.

Gusts of up to 70mph could hit coastal areas, it warns. 

A Met Office spokesperson said: 

"There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris and there could be some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs.

"There is also a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage."

Residents in Ambleside and Coniston have been affected by power cuts overnight. 

Electricity North West estimates that power will be restored by mid-afternoon today.

The Environment Agency began issuing flood alerts as river levels have risen.

The worst affected is Keswick Campsite, next to Derwentwater.

There is also a warning in place for the River Eden at Carlisle, Rickerby Park, Swifts and Stoneyholme Golf Courses

They are:

Rivers Brathay, Rothay and Winster

Here the Environment Agency says: "River and lake levels are high but steady at the Newby Bridge and Far Sawrey gauges as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, the risk of flooding remains. Low lying land and roads in the Windermere, Newby Bridge and Backbarrow areas may be affected.

"High river and lake levels are expected on Windermere and the River Leven. We expect river and lake levels to remain high overnight but do not expect any flood warnings to be issued.

Rivers Duddon, Crake and Mill Beck

Here the EA says: "River levels have risen at the Low Nibthwaite river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall. Levels have peaked but remain above the flood alert level. Consequently, the risk of flooding remains.
