In Newtownards flooding was reported in North Street, the Comber Road and the Glen Estate, however a spokesperson for the Water Service described the problems as "small scale".
However, the Water Service and Roads Service said staff remained on standby in case of any further flooding caused by expected heavy rainfall being predicted by the Met Office on Thursday and on Friday morning.
