LAST UPDATE | 23 Jan 2020
MOTORISTS ACROSS THE country have been warned to drive with caution this morning as a nationwide Status Yellow fog warning has been extended until midday.
The warning was issued by Met Éireann last night, when it came into effect at 10pm. It has now been extended and will remain in place until midday.
AA Ireland has urged motorists to drive with extra care, using fog lights, but also reminded drivers to turn them off when they’re no longer necessary.
Met Éireann says it expects fog to clear slowly during the morning, and that it will be dry but cloudy in most areas today.
The forecaster also expects a little patchy light rain or drizzle in places, with maximum temperatures 7 to 10 degrees Celsius.
