But the warning remains for several NSW regions, including Yass, Goulburn, Orange, Young, Parkes and Katoomba.
The Bureau of Meteorology updated its earlier storm warning at 2.15pm, cancelling its earlier warning for the ACT, Snowy Mountains and Riverina regions.
However, rain is expected to continue on Wednesday afternoon, after 1mm fell no Canberra and the downpour reached 20mm at Cabramurra.
It followed a major thunderstorm on Tuesday brought more than 22mm of rain to Canberra central and more than 35mm to Tuggeranong, in the wettest day this year.
Those in the severe weather warning zone were urged people to put away loose items around their homes, ensure cars were undercover and away from trees, not to drive, walk or ride through floodwaters and steer clear of creeks and storm water drains.
An ActewAGL spokesman also urged the public to stay clear of fallen powerlines and damaged electrical equipment and call 000 immediately if they see sparking or a fire.
"For their safety people should stay well clear of damaged equipment and anything touching it," a statement reads.
Report any powerlines down in the ACT to ActewAGL on 13 10 93, or in NSW to Ausgrid on 131 388, or Endeavour Energy on 131 003 or Essential Energy on 132 080, as shown on your power bill.
