Possible foggy period next week

Su Campu

We could see some extensive and possibly disruptive fog next week as high pressure looks like settling over the country. Longer nights, warm and humid airmass from the southeast, slack winds and wet soils should all combine to form dense fog in many areas, especially where skies clear. During the day the fog may linger in places or lift to low stratus beneath a strong inversion, keeping daytime temperatures in single figures.

The exact positioning of the high will be crucial in determining which parts will be more prone, but it is one to keep an eye on.



Sounding for the midlands, Friday 26 October. Saturated surface layer.

Friend of mine used to work on a ship, and the captin banned the word fog, because to speak it out loud was bad luck. So the crew called it gof instead, being fog backwards. So gof is now my word for it, and don't we all enjoy a good gof now and then!

Lets not forget about the the very bad fog a couple of years back there was a horrible pile up on the, N7 or M7 sadly one person lost there lives in that,i was working in Dublin at time and was commuting on my motor bike i remember pulling in the petrol station on the Naas road because i could not see a thing not even the fog lights on peoples cars.
Will the fog be as bad this time su.

Synoptic forecast for next Monday showing that humid continental air mass drawing closer to us. Sickening thing is that a set up like this would near guarantee to bring the risk of some big time storms up from the south and from the Continent if it were high summer.

Crap! I hate fog, second only to storm winds. I do a fair bit of driving for work, so I hate fog and the oblivious to fog motorists that ghost around in it.

The original was actually quite a creepy movie. (never saw the remake). Watching sea fog silently rolling in at night over Galway City when I lived there always reminded me of this film.
