A wave crashes in over rocks despite the sea looking relatively calm. A record was also broken last Sunday in Dooks, Co. Kerry. An air temperature of 20.1 degrees, was the highest ever recorded in Ireland for the month of November. The previous record high for November was 20 degrees, recorded in 1946 on the 4th of the month at Rathfarnam Castle. Temperatures in parts of Ireland over the weekend were more than 10 degrees higher than the average for this time of year. The average temperature at this time of year is 9.3 degrees. The UK’s November temperature record was also broken on Sunday with 22.4 degrees recorded in mid-Wales.

Thought For The Week
‘If the people we love are taken from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die but real love is forever.’ Author Unknown
Irish people have a great respect for the dead. During this month of November many will visit a cemetery, say a prayer for a loved one who has died and decorate a grave with a flower or a nightlight. Whether or not one should pray for the dead is one of the great arguments which divide Christians. Any prayer is always good. Praying for those who have died is also a good thing. In prayer we stand in God’s presence and in praying for those who have died we are in some way connected with them. During these early days of November many people embrace this reflective time. Our nearest and dearest who have gone on before us will always have a special place in our hearts. They will never be forgotten.
