The organization further disclosed that temperatures were likely to fall between zero to minus four degrees and leave behind sharp icy patches and frost.
Several areas throughout Ireland are also expected to experience heavy fog and mist due to extremely low temperatures.
The relevant authority forecasted that the weather during this week will also have bouts of windiness and wetness.
