Status Yellow fog warning issued for most of the country this evening

The warning covers Leinster, Munster, Cavan, Monaghan, Galway, Leitrim, and Roscommon.

A STATUS YELLOW fog warning will be in place for most of the country from 6pm today.

It covers Leinster, Munster, Cavan, Monaghan, Galway, Leitrim, and Roscommon.

The warning – the second of its kind this week – will stay in place until 10am tomorrow.

Met Éireann has warned that driving conditions may be hazardous as a result.

The RSA advises drivers to use fog lights where visibility is reduced. When entering fog, check your mirrors and slow down.

You should also remember to switch off your fog lights once conditions improve.

Pedestrians and cyclists should avoid going out in dense fog unless they really have to. If absolutely necessary, make sure you are clearly visible by carrying a torch and wearing reflective clothing.

Stay well in off the road where there is no footpath when vehicles are approaching.

    This might sound obvious, but if my experiences this morning are anything to go by it seems some people need reminding: IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN FOG THEN SLOW DOWN AND PUT ON YOUR FOG LIGHTS (FRONT AND REAR). Thank You!

    @Robert Clifford: In Ireland, fog itself is generally not toxic to breathe, but it can sometimes contain pollutants that may make it less healthy, especially in areas with high levels of air pollution. Fog forms when moisture in the air condenses into tiny droplets. While the droplets themselves are not harmful, they can trap pollutants, especially in urban areas, which may include vehicle emissions, industrial particles, and other airborne chemicals.
