Flood Warnings are on force on the River Wye from Hay-on-Wye to Ross-on-Wye (including Hereford City) and also on the River Lugg at Bodenham, where there is significant flooding.
There has been a lot of disruption with a number of routes closed across the county.
Strong winds have also caused issues, with a number of trees falling, particularly in the south of Herefordshire.
The weather is expected to improve over the coming days, but heavy showers are possible this morning, which could raise levels, particularly on quick responding rivers like the River Lugg.
