This is as all of Ireland has been hit with low temperature/ice warnings.

This morning (Tuesday, 19 November), Met Éireann published a Status Yellow snow-ice warning for Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo, Monaghan and Sligo that will last until 11am the same day.

"Snowfall accumulations possible. Possible impacts: Poor visibility [and] difficult travelling conditions."

This follows the UK Met Office publishing a similar Yellow snow and ice warning for the six counties of Northern Ireland, which will be in effect until 10am on Tuesday.

As well as this, Met Éireann has put out two Status Yellow low temperature/ice warnings for all of Ireland.

UPDATE: Co. Mayo added to the Snow/Ice warning-Validity time extended until 11am.

Providing more detail about the conditions in her meteorologist's commentary is Met Éireann’s Deputy Head of Forecasting Liz Coleman.

Speaking of the week ahead on Monday, she said:

"It will continue cold right through the working week with daytime temperatures struggle to rise above 2 to 6 degrees and temperatures falling widely below freezing at night.

"We’ll see a widespread frost developing and icy stretched too, leading to slippery conditions under foot and possibly travel disruption in some areas.

“That northerly airflow will also bring scattered showers of rain, sleet and snow through the week and with those cold temperatures, that precipitation will tend to freeze, increasing icy conditions, so do take care when out and about.”
