Flood defences in Upton upon Severn, Worcestershire, have worked "yet again," says the Environment Agency.
But a spokesperson warned that river levels were set to remain high for the rest of the week, "so it's no foot off the gas yet".
He said: "There is some more rain coming through Wednesday evening and Thursday looks like more prolonged rain, which will only push the river levels back up again.
"We've had record-breaking levels on the River Lugg and the River Wye [Herefordshire] upstream, just to put into context what kind of storm this is."
He added: "We've had two named storms back-to-back with no time to recover in between - we've never had that before - so this is really something quite unusual."
