The counties are included for your information, but relate to historic counties used by the Met Office to provide consistent regional statistics over lengthy periods of time. Unfortunately county and unitary authority boundaries change relatively frequently, so the Met Office has chosen to establish a consistent set of boundaries based on a fixed point in time. More information on averaging methods can be found on our website at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/about/methods.html
