Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Friday 24.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Warm daytime-temperatures and solar radiation give increased danger of wet 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 2019

Tidligere i mai kom det en del snø, og nå og da har det kommet et og annet nytt dryss av nysnø på de aller høyeste toppene vest i regionen. Både ny og gammel snø er smelteomvandlet og det er stort sett god drenering for smeltevann i snødekket.

Snøgrensen kryper oppover, men i øst- og nordvendte botner er det sammenhengende snødekke over ca 1100 -1300 moh. I sør og vestvendte områder er det flekkvis snødekke.

Mountain weather

Thursday 23. May 2019

3-6 mm precipitation. Breeze from southeast. 2 °C to 10 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 24. May 2019

2-6 mm precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the northwest during the evening. -1 °C to 5 °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

Det gamle snødekket er stort sett smelteomvandlet og stabilt. Noen nye millimetre med regn endrer ikke dette. Enkelte steder i svært bratt terreng kan det fremdeles være lett å løse ut et og annet vått løssnø skred, men omfanget er begrenset.

Der det er sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred.
