Avalanche warning for region Svartisen Tuesday 22.05.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Rain and some snow high up 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)

Monday 21. May 2018

Det smeltar godt og snøgrensa kryp stadig oppover. I ytre strøk og under 800-900 moh er det generelt lite snø og det som finnes har vore utsatt for smelting, regn og høge temperaturar. I indre strøk og høgt til fjells kan ein fortsatt finne skiføre nokre stader.

Observasjoner viser til lite snø for årstida og sommaren brer om seg i terrenget.

Mountain weather

Monday 21. May 2018

25 mm precipitation, up to 45 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from southwest. 1 °C to 5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 22. May 2018

1-5 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. -2 °C to 5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Generelt stabile forhold i eit forutsigbart snødekke som har gjennomgått førefall. På dei høgaste toppane kan det ligge finkorna snø etter nedbøren søndag, men denne er venta å ha stabilisert seg no. Litt ny nedbør vil svekke snødekket noko, men vatnet er venta å drenere raskt ut av snødekket. Ny nedbør kan komme som litt fuktig nysnø på dei høgaste toppane.
