Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Saturday 25.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Limited forecasts due to strike.
It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avlanches in steep terrain where the snow is very wet. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

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)

Friday 24. May 2024

Snødekket er i all hovedsak smelteomdannet i de fleste høyder og himmelretninger. Snøgrensen kryper stadig oppover og skiføre finnes først over ca 600 moh. Glidesprekker er utbredt.

Torsdag ble det målt 17 grader på Kappfjellet (940moh)

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. 2 °C to 14 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 25. May 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from north. 0 °C to 16 °C at 1100 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

Temperaturen stiger utover dagen og det blir varmt i fjellet lørdag. Der sola kommer fram vil overflata bli våt i bratte heng. Her vil det fortsatt være lett å løse ut små, våte løssnøskred.

Unngå ferdsel under glidesprekker og skavler.
