Avalanche warning for region Voss Tuesday 24.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Rain and heat give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Monday 23. May 2022

Snødekket er preget av varme som har gitt et smelteomdannet og homogent snødekke. I nordhellinger høyt til fjells kan det finnes lommer med lagdelt snø.

I fjellet er det fortsatt mye snø. Snøgrensa nærmer seg tregrensa mange steder, høyest er den i bratt sørvendt terreng.

Mountain weather

Monday 23. May 2022

20 mm precipitation, up to 40 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Fresh breeze from southeast. 2 °C to 9 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 24. May 2022

8-12 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Strong breeze from southeast. 3 °C to 8 °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

Varme og regn til topps vil svekke bindinger i snødekket og gi våte skred i bratte fjellsider.
Vær oppmerksom på skavlbrudd og glideskred.
Glideskred er uforutsigbare og kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
