Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Monday 25. May 2020

I lavlandet er det våt, råtten snø uten lagdeling. I ytre deler av regionen også bar bakke mange steder. Lavt i terrenget er snøen fuktig øverst i alle himmelretninger etter mildvær den siste tiden. Etter hvert som sola dreier i løpet av døgnet fryser snøoverflaten til mildværsskare i skyggen. I fjellet finnes det fortsatt snø med lagdeling.

Med solinnstrålingen de siste dagene har det gått endel små naturlig utløste løssnøskred.

Det er mer snø enn normalt i regionen, og det finnes fortsatt store skavler noen steder.

Mountain weather

Monday 25. May 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from south. 2 °C to 7 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Tuesday 26. May 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from south. 2 °C to 7 °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

Det vil være lett å løse ut våte løssnøskred i bratte heng. Enkelte naturlig utløste skred grunnet høye temperaturer kan fortsatt forventes. Faren er størst utover dagen i soleksponerte bratte heng.

Unngå områder under glidesprekker og skavler.
