Tonight is expected to be the coldest night of the week.

Met Éireann's national status yellow warning for snow and ice remains in place, with the country told to brace for another freeze tonight.

Motorists are being warned to take care throughout the day today after temperatures dropped to -4°C in places overnight.

And the national forecaster is warning that things could get as low as -6°C tonight.

"Overnight temperatures down as low as -6°C under clearer skies so that means that where the cloud persists and where the snow and the rain is they are more likely to be around 0°C to -2°C or -3°C," said Joanna Donnelly, meteorologist with Met Éireann.

"The colder air is likely to be under the clearer skies."

The expected conditions tonight follow a low of -5.8°C at Dublin Airport recorded by Met Éireann at 6am this morning.

While it was also a just a tad chilly at Mullingar with -4.8°C, Mount Dillon -4°C and Oak Park -3.7°C.
