there is about a 33% percent chance of it being either cold, average or
mild from the 8th, which is quite different from assuming an average of
all of the peturbations for which there is little confidence.

Looking at the 12Z GFS 850mb temps for London, there's a fairly big
spread from about the 5th. That's fairly common. Looks like there's
going to be a fairly chilly day or so around the 4th and a very mild one
24-48 hours later. After that, as you say, there's no clear signal.
