PICS: An All-Ireland semi-final like no other as fog descends on Dublin

There's an eerie atmosphere in Dublin this afternoon as the city is covered with fog.

The All-Ireland Football semi-final between Mayo and Tipperary was already unusual enough by being played in December but throw a thick blanket of fog into the mix and things get that bit stranger. On the pitch, Mayo have made light work of their Munster opponents to qualify for a fifth All-Ireland Final in nine years and doing so in these conditions just makes the feat all the more impressive...

With Dublin and Mayo due to face off in the All-Ireland Final on December 19, the GAA will be hoping the weather will be slightly improved by then. It's a far cry from stands filled with sunkissed supporters in the middle of August, that's for sure. Yesterday, Met Éireann issued a nationwide fog warning that's due to remain in place until 10am on Monday. If you have to go out or travel home, make sure to take care.
