MET ÉIREANN HAVE issued a Status Yellow fog warning for the entire country this afternoon.
The warning, which will be in place from 7pm this evening and will last until 9am tomorrow morning, was issued this afternoon by the forecaster.
According to Met Éireann, there will be fog developing in some areas causing reduced visibility and leading to “difficult travel conditions”.

It comes just under a week after Storm Barra had parts of the country under Status Red and Status Orange wind warnings, with parts of the country hit badly by power outages and Boil Water Notices.
The Journal also detailed how Met Éireann decides on weather warnings, with the forecaster usually waiting until 48-hours before a weather event before issuing a warning.
When asked about Met Éireann’s confidence in predicting weather several days in advance on The Explainer last year, Head of Forecasting Evelyn Cusack said that it depends on the atmosphere.
“It actually depends on the weather. Sometimes the atmosphere is in a more predictable state than others,” said Cusack.
“We only ever issue warnings about 48 hours to 60 hours ahead, we don’t issue warnings further than that because things can vary too much.
The Status Yellow warning comes as the weather tonight looks to remain mainly dry, but with some patches of rain in the early morning.
From tomorrow, the fog is set to clear from eastern and southern counties while counties in the west and north will see cloudy conditions and light rain. Temperatures tomorrow of between seven and 11 degrees.

Aerosmith & Run DMC were at this years ago.
Cultural appropriation!
What controversy? It’s a rap song and a pretty dreadful one at that.
Bit of a banger anyway though, Billy Rae was the one who made it viral..
Despite being a sewing together of cliches, I like it. Great fun … and probably would have done better in Eurovision than My Lovely Horse.
Makes a nice change from the usual generic Ariana Grande type rubbish
Ooooch….my achy breaky ears
I wanna go viral!
check out my remix of Jefferson Airplane – White Rabbit.

I’ve also remixed Kings of Leon and Pink Floyd (not officially ;) and subscribe, only got 7 so far and I hear that ain’t great.
@Julian King: Tbh it sounds like the song I’d want to hear if I needed convincing to jump off that bridge. Sorry pal
@Julian King: a BIG UP! for pink not pushed on jefferson! even, the original demands a high quantity of THC
Yeah race probably does play a factor in the decision – hardly a shock or necessarily wrong. Having different chart types is the definition of labelling and categorising based on background and culture.
I’m sure there are Irish trad charts and music is more likely to get in that if an Irish vs non Irish person releases somewhat similar sounding tracks. You always have to move a little deeper into a genre’s sound if an outsider. A black rapper is more of an outsider in the country and western world than Billy Bumpkin Pie and the like.
@thephantomshit: I’m black and I play trad. Widely accepted by people I play music with. No issues. I see the argument here of why it’s not true country. Being honest I had actually heard it loads on those tiktok ads on YouTube and thought it catchy but it’s not proper country. Then again music is changing so your point on charts and genres themselves is as blurred as it is in life. You’re still a no. 1 to me, in your genre.
Done to death. Please offer up something that will actually be remembered
First I’ve heard of this, but then again I don’t listen to shite
Forget the racism question for a moment… what about the horrendous equating of riding a horse with relations with women … where is the feminist movement on these young women’s videos ?
