HEAVY FOG IS affecting many parts of the country this morning. 

AA Roadwatch has reported that thick fog is affecting many routes across the country, including Dublin, Wicklow, Leitrim, Mayo, Tipperary and parts of the midlands. 

Met Éireann has said that after the mist and fog over parts of the midlands and south clears, the day will be “fine and dry” with spells of sunshine. 

However, it warned that low cloud may linger near some south coasts. 

Road users are this morning reporting very poor visibility, according to AA Roadwatch. 

“Many sure you have fog lights on anywhere you need them,” it said. 

It noted that foggy conditions are beginning to lift in some parts, and advised road users to make sure to turn off fog lights once that happens, as to not dazzle other motorists.
