MOTORISTS in Limerick have been urged to exercise extra caution on roads this Thursday evening, after Met Eireann issued an uncommon “Status Orange” fog weather alert.
While Limerick city and county is currently enduring dense fog at present, Met Eireann expects this to worsen between Thursday evening and the early hours of Friday morning.
It stated today: “Fog with very poor visibilities will linger in many inland areas this afternoon and will become more extensive and dense this evening and for a time tonight.”
