A cold spell of weather is to last 'for the next week' - Met Éireann

Описание: The cold weather is here to stay for the rest of the week and into the weekend.

It comes as a Status Yellow ice and fog warning has been issued for the entire country.

Icy patches and dense fog could see hazardous driving conditions this morning.

Met Éireann forecaster Gerry Murphy told Newstalk Breakfast overnight temperatures got as low as -4.7C.

"We have a cold spell across the country for this week in general as high pressure dominates the weather," he said.

"So, really it's going to be a cold week both by day and by night.

"This morning, for example, we have fog patches in places and we also have very low temperatures.

"Temperatures overnight got down to -4.7C in Co Roscommon."

Mr Murphy is urging people to take care on the roads as frost, ice and fog linger.

"That will be typical of what we can expect through the week," he said.

"So, overall daytime temperatures rising to between about 3C and 6C and the nights the temperatures dropping down well below freezing with icy patches and fog in places."
