aa73: on downwind in a circle to land on A32F you are Gear Down and Flaps 3 so not flaps Full; not fully configured for landing. So GPWS is still active ( mode 4 ) and you would have an audio " too low flaps " or " too low terrain " ( depending on IAS and height ) + GPWS light.

Or better: you will have directly GPWS mode 2: excessive terrain closure rate.
'' Terrain Terrain Pull up "

In both cases in IMC: " Pull up - TOGA " Escape!!! Immediately!

And if equipped with EGPWS the caution then warning would have probably come even before.
