Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Monday 06.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Little snow and generally stable conditions. Certain small loose snow avalanches can occur in steep, sunny slopes during the day.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose snow

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sunday 5. May 2019

Det er lite snø i regionen og kun sammenhengende skiføre enkelte plasser høyt til fjells. Snøoverflata består av smelteformer med flekkvis nysnø fra siste dager over.
Snøgrensa har det siste døgnet vært synkende, og en må over ca 800 meter for å finne skiføre. Der hvor nysnøen legger seg på bar bakke smelter den fort.

Observasjoner fra Rosendal lørdag viser til mye snøfritt landskap og kun enkelte små sammenhengende snøfelt over ca 800 moh. Noe mer snø i indre strøk i fjellet.

Mountain weather

Sunday 5. May 2019

6 mm precipitation, up to 14 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from northwest. -9 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 6. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -8 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Lite ny nedbør fører til at skredfaren holdes uendret. Skredproblemet ventes å være små naturlig utløste løssnøskred i bratt og solvendt terreng når dagen er på det varmeste.
