Bis zu 38 Grad: Franken vor intensiver Hitzewelle – Experte warnt vor „schweren Unwettern“

Von: Katarina Amtmann 

In Nürnberg und Umgebung steigen die Temperaturen auf bis zu 38 Grad. Am Samstagabend drohen schwere Unwetter, Sturm- und Orkanböen sind möglich.

Nürnberg - Die letzten Tage waren in Bayern geprägt von Hitzewellen und Unwettern. Am Dienstag, 11. Juli, kletterte das Thermometer stellenweise noch auf bis zu 37 Grad. In der Nacht zu Mittwoch zogen dann heftige Unwetter über den Freistaat. Bäume knickten um, ein Zirkuszelt stürzte auf zwei Frauen und verletzte sie schwer. 

Blitze sorgten in Mittelfranken für ein abendliches Spektakel am Himmel. Am Mittwochabend krachte es dann schon wieder. Auch hier stürzten Bäume durch heftige Böen um, in Weißenburg fiel ein Baum auf das Haus einer Familie.

Nach Unwettern in Bayern: Temperaturen steigen auch in Franken wieder 

Der Donnerstag, 13. Juli, begann in Nürnberg und Umgebung dann heiter bis wolkig, wie Wetter-Experte Stefan Ochs in seiner Prognose für die Regnitz-Region auf wetterochs.de berichtete. Die Höchsttemperaturen betragen 26 Grad.

Am Freitag,14. Juli, setzt dann die Zufuhr wärmerer Luftmassen ein, so Ochs. Auch einzelne Wolkenfelder sind möglich, bei einigen Wettermodellen sogar ein paar Tropfen Regen. Die Sonne scheint dann wieder öfter, es wird bis zu 29 Grad warm.

„Ungewöhnlich intensive Hitzewelle“ kommt auch nach Franken

„Im Mittelmeerraum erlebt man derzeit eine ungewöhnlich intensive Hitzewelle. Und die wird sich am Samstag auch bei uns bemerkbar machen“, so die Prognose des Wetter-Experten. Dann lenkt nämlich ein britisches Tief Luft vom Mittelmeer über die Alpen. „Fallwinde in den Nordalpen (Südföhn) verstärken den Temperaturanstieg noch und in der freien Atmosphäre in 1000 m Höhe werden ungewöhnliche 30 Grad erreicht“, so Ochs weiter.

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is optimistic that the country would get more Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs)--which can boost the country's economy--with the launch of the so-called green lanes.

Marcos said this after he led the Green Lanes for Strategic Investments launch on Thursday, July 13.

In a tweet, the President said the green lanes, established under his Executive Order (EO) No. 18, would realize the investment pledges he has obtained during his overseas trips since last year. 

With EO No.18, Marcos said the government would see faster processing of the necessary documents for investors.

"Papabilisin natin ang mga transaksyon para sa mga nais magnegosyo at mamuhunan sa Pilipinas (We will speed up the transaction for those who want to start a business and invest in the Philippines)!" he said.

'Inaasahan nating maghihikayat pa ito ng higit na Foreign Direct Investments para sa dagdag na trabaho at mas matatag na ekonomiya ng ating bansa (We expect that this would entice more FDIs for additional jobs and our country's stronger economy)," he added.

In his speech during Thursday's launch of the green lanes, President Marcos said the Philippines could not compete with other countries if it continued lagging in bureaucratic red tape. 

He hinted that the Philippines could overcome this if it stopped hiding behind "protectionist laws".

Malacañang issued EO No. 18 on Feb. 23 as part of the continuing efforts to address the concerns of foreign investors and promote the Philippines as a top investment destination.

EO No.18 mandated the establishment of the One-Stop-Action-Center for Strategic Investments (OSAC-SI), which, according to the President, would lift the bureaucratic load off potential investors.

15 areas under Signal No. 1 as Tropical Depression 'Dodong' makes landfall in Isabela

By Arlie O. Calalo

AT least 15 provinces in Luzon have been placed under Signal No. 1, including Isabela where Tropical Depression "Dodong" made its first landfall, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Friday.

Under storm alert are Cagayan, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Apayao, Kalinga, Abra, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Benguet, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, the northern portion of Pangasinan (San Nicolas, San Manuel, Sison, San Fabian, Pozorrubio, Bolinao, Bani, City of Alaminos, Sual, Labrador, Lingayen, Agno, Binmaley, Dagupan City, San Jacinto, Mangaldan and Anda), the northern and central portions of Aurora (Maria Aurora, San Luis, Baler, Dipaculao, Dinalungan, Casiguran and Dilasag) and Isabela.

Moving west-northwestward at 15 kilometers per hour (kph), Dodong has maximum sustained winds of 45kph near the center and gustiness of up to 55kph, the state-run weather agency said.

Forecast to cross the rugged landmass of Northern Luzon within the day, the tropical depression may initially track northwestward or north northwestward over Cagayan Valley for the next six hours before turning more west northwestward or westward and emerging over the waters west of Ilocos Region.

"Afterwards, Dodong will continue moving generally northwestward over the West Philippine Sea and leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Saturday or Sunday," Pagasa said in its 5 a.m. bulletin.

Dodong may reach tropical storm category by late Saturday or early Sunday as it moves out of the PAR, the state weather bureau said.

Meanwhile, the tropical depression and the enhanced southwest monsoon or "habagat' may bring moderate to rough seas over the eastern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon and the western seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon.

Pagasa has advised mariners of small sea craft to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea.

"If inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels, avoid navigating in these conditions," the bulletin said.

A Filipino-Brazilian model was crowned Miss Grand Philippines 2023 during a competition held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on July 13, Thursday night.

Nikki De Moura, 19, from Cagayan de Oro, emerged victorious among 29 other contestants in the beauty pageant, which has a noble goal of advocating for peace and denouncing any forms of violence.

De Moura will represent the Philippines at the 2023 Miss Grand International beauty pageant in Vietnam on Oct. 25. 

During the final Q&A portion of the pageant, De Moura was asked by one of the judges: "If you were given the chance to come up with your own slogan to promote the Philippines, what would it be and why?"

The beauty queen answered: "It would be to love the Philippines. I think being a Brazilian and Filipina, it makes me love both cultures, both heritages. Two different traditions. And so I am proud to say that I love the Philippines despite having its flaws."

De Moura was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She moved to the Philippines five years ago. At 14, De Moura won her first pageant at the Miss Governor's Cup South 2018. She was then crowned Miss Teen Philippines 2019. She was only 17 years old when she participated in SuperModel Me Season and finished first runner-up.

Other winners in the pageant were Michelle Arceo, Reina Hispano Americana Filipinas; Herlene Nicol Budol, Miss Philippines Tourism, and Francis Reyes, Miss Eco Teen Philippines. 

Shannon Tampon was named first runner-up while Charie Sergio was second runner-up.

The Philippines has yet to win a Miss Grand International crown since its inception in 2013.
