Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Sunday 30.05.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable avalanche conditions, but the danger for natural occurring small wet avalanches increases as the temperature rises. Remember to use slightly different approaches on wet and dry snow.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

Saturday 29. May 2021

I fjellet er det generelt gjenfryst og hard skarepakke, og med små fokksnøflak i enkelte leheng. Under mildværsgrensa og der solen eventuelt står på finner man våtere og mykere snø. Snøgrensa har den siste tiden krøpet oppover og ligger nå på rundt 100-300moh de fleste steder.

I høyden finnes det både harde skarelag der vann kan hope seg opp og gamle kantkornlag lenger ned i snødekket. De gamle kantkornlaga er iferd med å smelteomvandles, men det har gått store til svært store skred på disse tidligere i mai som f.eks. Tromsdalstind, Hamperokken og Holmbuktura.

Mountain weather

Saturday 29. May 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the afternoon. -5 °C to 3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 30. May 2021

1 mm precipitation, up to 6 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from west, changing to breeze from the southwest during the evening. -3 °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 er det stabil snø. Søndag stiger temperaturene enda noen grader, og det fortsetter med litt nedbør. Over mildværsgrensa vil det fortsatt kunne finnes enkelte små fokksnøflak i bratte leheng. Under mildværsgrensa kan det gå et og annet naturlig utløst vått løssnøskred. Vær varsom i bratte heng der snøen virker svært våt, der vil det være lett å løse ut slike skred.
