Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Friday 24.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. The snow surface in the mountain will refreeze due to lower temperatures. Be careful in steep terrain at lower altitudes if the snow is wet and loose. If so, it could be possible to trigger small wet loose avalanches.

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)

Thursday 23. May 2024

Snødekket er i all hovedsak smelteomvandlet og gjennomfuktet og smeltes fort. Den ferske fokksnøen fra starten av uken er trolig påvirket av mildværet torsdag, selv i høyfjellet. I lavere strøk og rundt framstikkende steiner er snøen råtten.

Mountain weather

Thursday 23. May 2024

4 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -1 °C to 12 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 24. May 2024

1-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l Friday night. Moderate gale from west, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -4 °C to 4 °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

Med kaldere vær vil den våte snøoverflaten i fjellet gradvis fryse til.

Vær forsiktig i bratte heng der snøen fremdeles er veldig våt og løs. Her kan det være lett å løse ut skred. Det gjelder typisk lavereliggende fjellområder og lune heng som får mye sol. Husk at selv små skred kan få deg ut av balanse og ha store konsekvenser om du er på feil sted, slik som i nærheten av terrengfeller.

Unngå områder under glidesprekker og hold god avstand til skavler.
