all the top business stories will be up next. see you in a moment. hello there. our sunshine that we see believe it or not is linked to the extreme weather we ve seen across other parts of europe. the flooding in germany, for example. it s linked by the jet stream. this is the pattern that we ve seen. a very undulating jet stream. it means slow moving weather. we ve had low pressure bringing the rain across europe. that low pressure will move eastwards. eventually taking the rain away from germany. high pressure will build in across the uk, bringing dry weather. with the sunshine we had on thursday, temperatures in northern ireland reached 26 degrees, making it the warmest day of the year so far. it s going to be a warm start across belfast, temperatures at 16 degrees.
