Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air presented as a percentage of the maximum amount of moisture that air can hold at its current temperature. Shifting patterns of relative humidity, as projected by the Met Office Hadley Centre climate models, can influence indoor air quality conditions, with consequential impacts to occupant health. To help illustrate these patterns, the average annual relative humidity (%) is mapped for the average year in the time period for the 50th and 95th percentile models out of the 12-model suite. Time periods are baseline (1980-2000), 2030 (2021-2040), and 2070 (2061-2080). County-level results represent an area-weighted-average of the results for each climate data grid within the county.

Temperature patterns that can influence conditions within dwellings, and therefore the comfort and health of occupants, are projected to shift according to the Met Office Hadley centre climate models. To illustrate these patterns, the average daily maximum temperature(°C) is mapped for the average year in the time period for the 50th and 95th percentile models out of the 12-model suite. Time periods are baseline (1980-2000), 2030 (2021-2040), and 2070 (2061-2080). County-level results represent an area-weighted-average of the results for each climate data grid within the county.

Specific humidity is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air per unit weight of dry air. Shifting patterns of specific humidity, as projected by the Met Office Hadley Centre climate models, can influence indoor air quality conditions, with consequential impacts to occupant health. To help illustrate these patterns, the average annual specific humidity (g H2O / kg dry air) is mapped for the average year in the time period for the 50th and 95th percentile models out of the 12-model suite. Time periods are baseline (1980-2000), 2030 (2021-2040), and 2070 (2061-2080). County-level results represent an area-weighted-average of the results for each climate data grid within the county.

Precipitation patterns that can influence building fabric degradation rates are projected to shift according to the Met Office Hadley Centre climate models. To help illustrate these patterns, the cumulative annual precipitation (mm) is mapped for the average year in the time period for the 50th and 95th percentile models out of the 12-model suite. Time periods are baseline (1980-2000), 2030 (2021-2040), and 2070 (2061-2080). County-level results represent an area-weighted-average of the results for each climate data grid within the county.

The Better Woodlands for Wales (BWW) grant scheme ran from 2006 until the introduction of the Glastir Woodland Creation Grant scheme in 2010/11. BWW provided aid to land managers to achieve forest policy objectives, including the creation of new woodlands, and management of existing woodlands to secure a range of beneficial environmental and social amenity outcomes.

Latest Built Up Area Sub Division Populations (2015 as at May 2017)
Built-up areas are defined as land which is ‘irreversibly urban in character’, meaning that they are characteristic of a village, town or city. They include areas of built-up land with a minimum of 20 hectares (200,000m2). Any areas with less than 200 metres between them are linked to become a single built-up area.
The CAMS Abstraction Management Strategy Reference Boundaries are an external reference dataset giving an indication of where technical assessments have been undertaken. CAMS helps to look at the balance between society, the economy and the environment. The technical assessment helps identify where water may be available for future use but also where water resource demands may be impacting the water balance. The CAMS boundaries should be used on a national scale to show the geographical distribution of CAMS and are not suitable for detailed technical assessments.

The Coastal Risk Management Programme (CRMP) supplements the core flood programme, supporting investment in Local Authority capital schemes in line with Shoreline Management Plans. It provides the opportunity for a three-year focussed period of investment on coastal risk from April 2019 to March 2023. Purpose This map shows the locations of the schemes within the Coastal Risk Management Programme. Data Quality The information contained within this map has been provided by the Local Authorities who are responsible for delivering these schemes. Funding to progress to construction is subject to completion and agreement of an appropriate business case and obtaining relevant permissions and consents. Costs remain estimates until the work has been tendered. In some cases, schematic location may not be exact and may be an approximate location / centre point within the Authority.

Boundaries of Conservation Areas in Wales, to conform with s.70(5) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. This dataset provides information on the map boundaries only. For the full information, including information on designations, individuals should contact the appropriate Local Authority.
This dataset shows the count of all dwellings that are charged Council Tax and also classed as second homes, for August 2021. These statistics are presented for middle layer super output areas (MSOA) in Wales. They are calculated using council tax data supplied by the Welsh Local Authorities to ONS. The statistics were joined to the MSOA 2011 boundary layer to obtain the geometry of the boundary. Notes Note that data for Pembrokeshire and Swansea were not available at the time of publication. Some of the data has been suppressed. This is due to there being no second homes or fewer than five second homes for the selected geography. Chargeable dwellings are domestic dwellings in an area for which council tax is payable. It excludes dwellings which are exempt from paying council tax. Each chargeable dwelling is counted as one dwelling, whether or not a full council tax bill is payable for it. Counts of the number of chargeable empty and second homes, for each local authority in Wales, are published by Welsh Government (Chargeable empty and second homes, by year (number of dwellings) (gov.wales)). The WG figures differ from the ONS figures as they are based on an aggregate data collection at the beginning of the financial year and LAs make adjustments to estimate what is likely to happen in the upcoming year. Counts for MSOAs may not equal that of the local authorities due to data suppression.

Most Country Parks were designated in the 1970s, under the Countryside Act 1968 with the support of the former Countryside Commission. In more recent times there has been no specific financial support for Country Parks directly, and fewer have been designated. Most are managed by local authorities, although other organisations and private individuals can also run them. A Country Park is an area designated for people to visit and enjoy recreation in a countryside environment. The purpose of a Country Park is to provide somewhere for visitors who do not necessarily want to go out into the wider countryside. Visitors can enjoy a public open space with an informal atmosphere, as opposed to a formal park as might be found in an urban area. For this reason Country Parks are usually found close to or on the edge of built-up areas, and rarely in the countryside proper.
