Is there a metropolitan area which is a "Unitary Authority" (runs all
services without the County, District, Local levels everywhere else) round
your part of the world? If so, it is most likely the warning has been
issued for the surrounding county but the unitary authority area has been
overlooked.

Happens quite a lot round here when the Met Office forgets that Southampton
and Portsmouth are geographically - if not administratively - in Hampshire.
