A Status Yellow fog warning covered Connacht and counties Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan from 22:00 on Monday 2 November 2026 until 10:00 on Tuesday 3 November 2026. That validity period has ended; this is a retrospective brief, not an active weather alert.

The eight counties were Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo in Connacht, together with Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan. Met Éireann warned that areas of dense fog could cause poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions.

The Journal published its report at 18:09 on 2 November. The Met Éireann page inspected during recovery recorded the warning’s issue time as 15:33 that day and confirmed its overnight validity window. That historical entry should not be used as a statement of current conditions.
