Unusual 48-hour development in ongoing cold spell
Met Eireann says the cold snap will trigger an unusual phenomenon which could cause "further complications". They have told people to be on alert for patches of freezing fog over the coming 48 hours.
Freezing fog is considered rare because specific circumstances are required for the fog to form. The fog consists of ‘supercooled’ water droplets, which means the moisture remains liquid despite temperatures being below freezing.
Earlier this week, deputy Head of Forecasting Liz Coleman explained: "There could be further complications with freezing fog at times, so we ask people to stay in contact with the weather forecasts and be prepared."
