Avalanche warning for region Tromsø Wednesday 25.05.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Naturally triggered avalanches may occur steep terrain with wet snow. Keep good distance from cornices.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose 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)

Tuesday 24. May 2022

Regionen har et vårlig snødekke, der snøoverflaten består av smelteomvandla snø. De aller fleste steder vil denne være fuktig eller våt.

Det kan vere rester av vedvarende svake lag i snødekket på de høyeste fjelltoppene, men de fleste steder er disse nå smelteomvandla.

De siste dagene har det løsnet mange små og middels store våte løssnøskred, glideskred og skavler har brukket.

Snøgrensa stiger og det er lite snø under ca. 200 moh.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 24. May 2022

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. 4 °C to 13 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 25. May 2022

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. 5 °C to 15 °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 er fare for naturlig utløste våte snøskred ettersom det blir varmt, begrenset tilfrysing av snødekket om natta og solgløtt utover dagen. Det forventes mest løssnøskred, men det kan også løsne våte flakskred. Skred kan løsne hele døgnet og skavler brekke.
