Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sunday 24. May 2020

I lavlandet er det våt, råtten snø uten lagdeling. Lavt i terrenget er snøen fuktig øverst i alle himmelretninger etter temperaturøkning de siste dagene. Etter hvert som sola dreier i løpet av døgnet fryser snøoverflaten til mildværsskare i skyggen. I fjellet finnes det fortsatt snø med lagdeling.

Det er mer snø enn normalt i regionen, og det finnes mange store skavler.

Mountain weather

Sunday 24. May 2020

No precipitation. Strong breeze from south, changing to breeze from the south during the afternoon. 1 °C to 5 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 25. May 2020

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 forventes. Faren er størst utover dagen i soleksponerte bratte heng.

Unngå områder under glidesprekker og skavler.
