Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Tuesday 21.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Rain and heat give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

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)

Monday 20. May 2019

Tidlegare i mai kom det ein del snø, denne er no smelteomdanna og er i ferd med å bli einsarta med det eldre snødekket. Det er stort sett god drenering for smeltevatn i snødekket. I aust- og nordvendte botnar er det samanhengande snødekke i høgda. I sør og vestvendte områder er det lite eller ikkje snø.

Natt til mandag var det ikkje registrert minusgrader i regionen.

Mountain weather

Monday 20. May 2019

No precipitation. Breeze from east. 2 °C to 10 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 21. May 2019

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from southeast. 3 °C to 12 °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

Kraftig varme og regn gir snøsmelting og vått snødekke. I enkelte bratte heng er det forhold for våte laussnøskred, men det meste har rasa frå seg så skreda vil truleg være små. Der det er sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred.
