Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Wednesday 08.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Warm daytime-temperatures and solar radiation give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.
  • The danger is greatest until Wednesday afternoon

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)

Loose snow

Glide avalanches

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Tuesday 7. May 2024

Mange steder er hele snødekket gjennomfuktet. Det er fortsatt harde skarelag i snødekket fra tidligere i vinter, særlig i skyggevendte heng. På Senja er det kommet noe nysnø over 400 moh.

Under skoggrensen er relativt lite snø igjen.

Det har vært stor snøsmelting den siste uken på grunn av høye dagtemperaturer og fravær av nattefrost.

Det er observert flere glideskred og mange gamle våte løssnøskred.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 7. May 2024

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. -7 °C to 4 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Wednesday 8. May 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -5 °C to 5 °C at 700 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

Skredfaren er størst frem til onsdag formiddag i bratte heng med solinnstråling. Utover ettermiddagen skyer det til og skredfaren avtar. Unngå områder med ferske glidesprekker.
