A Scandinavian blast is set to hit the UK bringing with it gale force winds.<\/p>\n
The Met Office predicts that after a mild start to October that things could be set to change – with many parts of the UK set to be hit with “battleground” weather.<\/p>\n
Temperatures are also falling from a high in London of 19C this week to a high of 16C next week. It\u2019s a similar picture in the north – with a high of 16C this week to a high of 14C next week.<\/p>\n
