There is particularly poor visibility in Monaghan and Roscommon, according to the AA.

Motorists are advised to slow down in affected areas, use fog lights where necessary but not to forget to switch them off when they’re no longer needed.

Frost and fog will clear in most areas later this morning leading to a dry day with sunny spells.
