Kilcullen Diary

SAMSUNG PHONE FOUND

A Samsung phone was handed into Kilcullen Garda Station on 10th April 2024. It is believed to be a child’s phone with a sum of money inside the cover. Owner can contact Kilcullen Garda Station for collection on 045 481212.

WEATHER

Any mist and fog will clear to give a mainly cloudy day with a few bright or sunny spells. Patchy light rain and drizzle developing in the afternoon and early evening. Highest temperatures of 11 or 12 degrees in a moderate west to northwest wind, increasing fresh at times later. Staying largely cloudy tonight.

DID YOU KNOW?

Smaller than a euro 10-cent coin, the transparent fish Danionella cerebrum has had the male's mating call underwater recorded at 140 decibels, equivalently as loud as an exploding firework. This possibly makes it the world's loudest animal by weight.
