Met Eireann issues weather warning for thick fog

A weather warning has been issued for Westmeath, Offaly, and the ten other counties in Leinster, with dense fog expected to blanket the province early tomorrow (Thursday).

Met Éireann said the yellow-level warning for fog would be in effect from 5am to 10am on Thursday.

This is likely to make driving conditions difficult in the morning, and motorists are being reminded to leave plenty of space between themselves and other road users.

Tonight will be a frosty night in the Midlands, with temperatures set to fall to -1 degrees Celsius in some areas.
