Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Sunday 15.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The danger level is 1 where the surface is hard, but can rise to 2-moderate if the surface gets wet and soft.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Saturday 14. May 2022

Mildvær den siste uka har gjort snøoverflate våt og fuktig oppover i fjellet. På de høyeste toppene vil snøen fortsatt være mer vinterlig, og nysnø har dannet små flak som har stabilisert seg raskt.

Snødekket er generelt tynnere og fuktigere i sydlige himmelretninger, mens snødekket er tykkere og kaldere i nordlige himmelretninger.

Mountain weather

Saturday 14. May 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from west. -9 °C to 4 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 15. May 2022

2 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from east. -2 °C to 5 °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

Et lite dryss av nedbør og perioder med sol vil svekke snødekke. Våt løs snø kan løsne av seg selv i bratte heng. Husk at også små skred kan gi konsekvenser nær terrengfeller.
