• Some reports based on model output flag intense bursts up to 1 cm of rain per hour early on Oct 3 in Scotland before the band pushes south through the day.
• Other model projections point to a short warm spell around Oct 5–6, with mid‑20s Celsius possible in parts of southern and central England.
• London‑area projections from WXCharts show about 23C on Oct 5 and around 24C on Oct 6, while BBC outlooks suggest largely sunny conditions into Oct 4.
• The Met Office long‑range outlook keeps temperatures near to above average and places the wettest, windiest conditions in the northwest, noting uncertainty tied to Gabrielle’s evolution.
