What the hell was up yesterday?

cormie

I don't know if this belongs in the weather, science, Dublin City :rolleyes: or paranormal forum:eek: but what was with the weather yesterday? In Dun Laoghaire there wasn't a cloud in the sky, but out at the horizon it looked like the whole sea was up in smoke, even on the drive into Dun Laoghaire there was a thick fog covering Killiney, Loughlinstown and Ballybrack.

You look one way it looks like Florida in the summer, look the other it looks like a warzone. In all my years I've never seen a combination of such weather at the same time.

So just a bit of misplaced fog I thought, until I went to the park in Dun Laoghaire and again, cracking sunshine, no clouds, except for the massive patch of fog covering the sea, was kicking the ball about and then I sat down and noticed my breath was visible The same way it would be on an icy winter morning, every time I breathed out, it looked like I had just inhaled half a cigarette, it wasn't just me either, my friend had the same as well as other people in the park.

Definitely the first time I've ever seen anything like that. Any explanation for this?

There was a weird haze over both McAuley Park and Fairview park too. I assumed it was mist blown in from the sea or someint'

Yeah i saw that haze in Dun Laoghaire - the pier dissappeared into it! It was like a wall, you couldn't even see the bottom of the two towers in Clontarf .... weird!

According to the wikinator, that happens when a warm front(correct) passes over a snowy area (not so much)?

Please enlighten the non weatherical among us

What about everyone breathing out the mist though? That was freaky.

JohnCleary

Um, it's pretty normal

Hot mass passing over cold Irish sea = fog

All of the dublin coast was shrouded in sea mist, it was cool.

Its one of the signs that the zombies are coming! It will start with the dead rising from their watery graves.

I'd go with Zombies and/or Sellafield leaks.

breathe in mist = breathe out mist

Cold fog yesterday in Clontarf too. The twin chimneys in Pigeon House looked weird poking out of the "Ground Clouds"

But there was no mist in the park, the park was clear as something that's really clear, the only mist was out at sea, you could see perfectly in the park, no mist at all, look up at the sky, it was blue, not a cloud, nothing. The mist was only out at sea?...

Yes it was mist off the sea,
warm air over the sea causing water vapour to rise which then cools
due to the land not being that warm as it is early summer.
The sea mist rolled in from the sea to the surrounding coastland.

But if you want to believe it was a dragon go ahead.
