Felt great to finally see a good bit of sunshine.

Started off with a misty sunrise in the Phoenix Park to autumn colours in Wicklow to a beautiful sunset at Clontarf.

thats a good one Bill. Driving in dense fog is a nightmare. It would probably have to be a dense freezing fog to reach Red level criteria I'd Imagine 😬?

I love all the pics. They look like two different seasons, summer beach photos to foggy winter ones

.Donegal.

I can’t see there ever being a red warning issued for fog, the complaining about it would be unbelievable for starters.

At last an absolutely stunning, sunny crisp autumn/ winters day 😁.

I'll take this any day over the gloom of the last two weeks.

Evening walk in the fog in the local town here. Some smell from chimneys nearby, no where foe the smoke to escape; tapped by the dense fog. Can't say noticed that before or its a least be a long time.

'Our best Autumn in living memory' proclaims farmer in local newspaper. Sept-Oct in terms of grass growth and field movement, mild dry conditions dominate. Rainfall in Abbeyknockmoy was 76.2mm in Oct, 41mm in Sept.

Beautiful @sryanbruen

Where is the bridge in Wicklow?

Looks like the Shankhill river near Manor Kilbride?

They are stunning syran. Do you put your photos to print. Imagine to have some of those framed and on your wall.

Chilly and foggy out there we are down to 2 degrees in a lot of places.

I love the fog overall. It's a bit of pain to drive in at night,but I like walking the trails in it. I have a bad feeling the Atlantic is going to get back in by default later in November. I suppose it has to happen at some point. Let's hope whenever it does get back in that it's not for months on end.

Bloody freezing out there tonight.

Glad I got the gardens cut on Saturday, hopefully that the growth over now. It had actually started to grow again it was that mild and dry.

Yes it is joyful, when you can feel the warm embrace of the acrid soupy smog lodging at the back of throat

Not all fog is acrid but I'm sure it can and does turn into smog around towns , cities and around industries sometimes. I remember the taste of it when working in England around the mid to late 80's.

I do find fog aesthetically pleasing at times especially when it is shallow or low enough to disturb it whilst walking through a field and I love to watch whisps of it form over streams and the lower parts of fields and in valleys and early morning watching the sun rise when on higher ground and seeing the tops of the trees lower down or a church spire emerge in the distance and later watching the fog lift and burn off. Of course it can be a pain too and dangerous for travelling. Can get sea fogs moving inland here around the coast in Kerry at times especially in early summer and it can knock temperatures right down, sometimes getting lodged in the bay for a couple of days . Fog around here in general doesn't last long, I often encounter it more inland away from the coast where the air is more still.

Fairly chilly start to the day. Beautiful skies again this morning, clear with a tinge of colour in the sky, 4c N Kildare

Really clear crisp night last night in south Dublin.
Great for star gazing!
Cold though.

So good to get a few days of sun.We went 13 days in Cobh without a single glimmer of sunlight - that'd do your head in completely.

Where on Netweather can I find this graph? I do have Extra, but have never seen this one before. Thanks.

Fog cleared from Galway City Center but only just, still foggy in the claddagh and further out, as well as towards Ballyloughane.

Sadly seems 2 lives lost to the sea today in Galway, search and rescue efforts hampered by the fog. Thankfully it's very calm.

This is one for Sryan and other knowledgeable posters..

Bar 2010 are there many examples of snow to sea level events in mid November? Any with ice days etc where we had snow on the ground for 3, 4 or more days?

I remember 'frost' ice days in November. Like 1988 I think.

Deep dive is on YouTube and its an hour which is the longest they've done

Very very sad. Usually a very safe beach. Flat calm too.

as a regular swimmer I must say I would be petrified of getting into the sea in fog. God help those poor swimmers in Galway, I was thinking of them so much today, they must have got completely disorientated.

The top photo is Cromane, Kerry where I swam this morning, it was like a pond. Headed to Killarney National Park and Ross Castle for the afternoon, quite simply an unbelievably beautiful day. However I spoke to my daughter in Limerick and they were enveloped in thick fog all day long that never lifted. That's just one county away, but like a different country!

This morning's frosty and misty sunrise at the Curragh, Kildare.

Concluded with sunset at the Grand Canal, Dublin. Perfect reflections, lovely sunset colour but all the autumn leaves pretty much gone now.
