Now the Met Office has said the terrible weather will finally ease on Sunday.
However, yellow weather warnings are in place until then.
Much of east Scotland is being warned of persistent and heavy rain today, Friday and Saturday which could cause further flooding.
Although there will be no warning from Sunday on – the weather will continue unsettled with further rain or showers for many.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Frank Saunders, said; “As we head through the rest of the week low pressure systems in the Atlantic will feed weather fronts across the UK, bringing rain and showers for many.
“High pressure close to Scandinavia acts to block the progress of weather fronts, causing them to stall at times, bringing prolonged, heavy rainfall for some, particularly to the West and south.
“There will also be more rainfall feeding in from the east coast into eastern Scotland and northeast England, areas so badly impacted by Storm Babet.
“This rainfall won’t be as heavy as last week’s but has the potential to cause some further impacts, or perhaps to delay recovery and repair work.”
Sunday will see another low-pressure system crossing England and Wales with further heavy rain likely, and perhaps strong winds.
Forecasters say the unsettled weather looks to continue through next week.
It comes after Storm Babet tragically left seven people dead and thousands of homes underwater.
Seven people were also tragically killed in the horror storm.
On Monday emergency services recovered the body of Peter Pelling, 61, who was swept away in floodwater in Marykirk, Aberdeenshire, on Friday morning.
On Sunday, a woman in her 80s passed away after a flat filled with water in the severe flooding.
Emergency services were called to a flat in Chesterfield after what cops described as “a sudden death” which they believe was weather-related.
It was also revealed a horror car pile-up on the M4 on Friday was weather-related, according to MailOnline.
The smash, which involved a lorry and four cars, killed two women – Cheryl Woods, 61, and Sarha Smith, 40 – who were travelling together.
Devastatingly in the hours that followed a teenage driver was killed in a crash amid the wet conditions.
An 18-year-old was also left fighting for his life on Friday night after the car he was travelling in smashed into a wall in a West Yorkshire village.
The Sun understands the horrendous weather conditions were a factor in the horror smash.
The collision involved a white Seat Ibiza which ploughed with a wall on Brow Lane at Shelf, near Halifax.
Cops on Friday confirmed two people had fallen victim to Storm Babet.
West Mercia Police said a man in his 60s had died in the storm.
He was found two hours after getting caught in fast-flowing flood water and being dragged under in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire.
Onlookers frantically called cops at around 10.40am on Friday before the tragic discovery was made.
He was the third person to die after John Gillan, 56, was travelling in his vehicle when a tree struck it in Angus, Scotland.
A 57-year-old woman also died on Thursday after being swept into a river in the region.
On Saturday, an elderly man and woman died when their car plunged off a 30ft bridge.
Police have not confirmed whether the tragedy was weather related.
