:06:09. > :06:13.recession and is adding jobs. We have recently announced that we have
:06:14. > :06:19.50 new jobs. Some of those have already been filled. The rest will
:06:20. > :06:23.be filled over the coming months. The wider economy is also seen

:24:23. > :24:26.I have always felt like the Open Championship is one that I would
:24:27. > :24:31.compete in at some point. There is nothing like the walks down the
:24:32. > :24:42.fairway. They are just super special. There is no walk my kids.
:24:43. > :24:49.Good vibrations here, I suppose. Hopefully some good omens. You is
:24:50. > :24:54.the smart money on for The Open? Perhaps, don't bet against another
:24:55. > :24:56.winner from Northern Ireland. All three of our champions are upbeat
:24:57. > :25:10.about their chances of another major win.
:25:11. > :25:17.Expecting some high temperatures by day and night over the next couple
:25:18. > :25:22.of days. 30 degrees during the day in London. You can imagine what it
:25:23. > :25:24.would be like at night. Some of those temperatures may affect the
:25:25. > :25:30.Republic of Ireland too. It will certainly get warmer here. It will
:25:31. > :25:33.get more human as well. We will be spared those very high temperatures
:25:34. > :25:38.but it also means we will not have the worst of the thundery rain. If
:25:39. > :25:42.you are lucky enough to be off tomorrow, enjoy it because it will
:25:43. > :25:45.be a nice day that there will be thundery showers on Friday. One or
:25:46. > :25:49.two sharp showers moving across as in the last few hours. No
:25:50. > :25:52.thunderstorms today with the worst of the showers moving away. A lot of
:25:53. > :25:58.places will have a fine, bright evening. Those showers disappear.
:25:59. > :26:04.Reasonably fresh comparative next couple of night as well. There are
:26:05. > :26:08.tomorrow's -- tomorrow is fine and warm. If you are lucky enough to be
:26:09. > :26:11.off, make sure you don't forget sun protection. It should warm up
:26:12. > :26:14.quickly through the morning as the cloud breaks and the sun come
:26:15. > :26:18.through. We are expecting temperatures in the afternoon to
:26:19. > :26:21.reach at least the low 20s. Plenty of fine weather tomorrow. The wind
:26:22. > :26:30.coming in from the east so it will be a little bit cooler on somebody's
:26:31. > :26:35.East Coast. Our highest temperatures will be over County Tyrone and
:26:36. > :26:40.Fermanagh were we should see up to around 24 degrees. Plenty of fine
:26:41. > :26:44.warm weather tomorrow but you can see that sea mist and fog just
:26:45. > :26:48.threatening parts of the Southeast later on. That is a sign of more
:26:49. > :26:52.human weather to come tomorrow night. It should just about stay dry
:26:53. > :26:57.tomorrow but it will feel warm and humid and it will be quite misty and
:26:58. > :27:00.marquee in places. On Friday, although starting dry, it's likely
:27:01. > :27:04.to turn fairly thundery in places quite quickly from the south. It
:27:05. > :27:09.will not be wall-to-wall rain, there will be some sunny spells.
:27:10. > :27:14.Territories will easily reach the low 20s. Despite the rain, it --
:27:15. > :27:18.despite the breeze, it will feel sticky. That area of low pressure
:27:19. > :27:21.moving away on Friday, bringing intense downpours across some areas
:27:22. > :27:23.in England. Our weekend is not looking too bad.
