The warning comes into effect from 20:00 on Wednesday, January 12th and runs until 12:00 on Thursday, January 13th.

Met Éireann says "fog or freezing fog will develop this evening, becoming dense in parts of Munster and Leinster overnight leading to impaired visibility and hazardous driving conditions."

"On Thursday fog will be slow to lift and may linger locally beyond the warning period."

Tonight will be very cold, following on from last night's heavy frost and freezing temperatures, with lows of -1C expected in parts of the South East.

Fog will be slow to clear on Thursday morning, with fog and low cloud persisting in parts through much of the day before making way for a mix of cloud and sunny spells.
