It’s a chilly start to the week.

With a Status Yellow – Ice warning for Ireland in place until noon, Met Éireann is warning that icy stretches are likely on roads in Cork this morning and hazardous travelling conditions are expected.

Some patches of freezing fog are also possible along with a sharp frost that will clear slowly and may linger in places.

“Most areas will be dry. However, outbreaks of sleet or snow may develop in parts of Kerry and Cork. Lowest temperatures of -1 to -5 degrees.”
