Not while driving, obviously.
The morning will be foggy and cloudy in most parts of the country, with outbreaks of rain in the northeast, east and southeast.
Here’s the bright and cheerful view from our office in Dublin:
Highest temperatures will be between 10 to 14 degrees, according to Met Éireann.
The weather might be grim, but there’s at least some good news for Luas users today:
Take care if you’re passing through Longford, Tullamore or Monaghan Town this morning:
If you use Dublin Bus, remember that the Hawkins St stop for routes 15, 27, 27x and 151 has been pushed south to facilitate Luas works.
The Pearse St stop for the 49, 54a and 84x has also been moved, in this case to College St.

And nearby at the Red Cow slip:
It’s also busy on the N11 in Wicklow:
Traffic looks set to slow even further on the N11 following a reported collision there:

In Galway, meanwhile, traffic is building on Headford Rd and Tuam Rd.
There’s been a crash in the bus lane of Dublin’s Wolfe Tone Quay:
Delays on the N11 should start easing soon:
The Wolfe Tone Quay collision has also been cleared, according to Dublin City Council.
