Met Éireann extends yellow fog warning to Donegal for Sunday night

Met Éireann has extended a status‑yellow fog warning to Donegal from 9 pm this evening until 11 am on Monday.

The national forecaster said dense fog is expected to develop, reducing visibility and creating potentially difficult travelling conditions on roads. The extension follows a similar warning that covered most of the country overnight on Saturday.

In addition to Donegal, the warning now applies to eleven other counties across the island. Drivers are advised to exercise caution, especially on rural routes where fog can become particularly thick.

During daylight hours on Sunday, the weather is forecast to be largely dry with occasional coastal showers and periods of bright or sunny spells. Temperatures will remain modest, not exceeding 7 to 10 °C.

Tonight, conditions will stay mainly dry but mist and fog are expected to return, becoming dense in places. Overnight lows will fall to between 1 and 5 °C, with light easterly or variable breezes.
