The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for rain across Nottinghamshire today.
The yellow warning is valid for the whole of the East Midlands until Wednesday afternoon.
Forecasters warned that a spell of heavy and persistent rain would spread across parts of southern, southwest and central England.
The Met Office also warned of a possible risk of flooding and disruption to transport.
Notts will be fairly mild as well as wet today, with temperatures reaching a maximum of 9 degrees C.
The skies are expected to clear, however, in time for the switching on of Nottingham's Christmas lights in Old Market Square this evening.
Nottingham residents took to Twitter to complain about the soggy weather.
Nottingham Playhouse administrator Lucy Tregar said: "Hilarious traffic problems this morning, all for a bit of rain! God help Nottingham when it snows."
While Davina Patel commented: "All day rain in Nottingham, not a good day to find out your boot has sprung a leak.. #wetrightfoot"
