Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Sunday 22.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The snow is generally stable, but avalanches can occur in areas where the sun makes the snow surface wet and soft. Keep a good distance from cornices.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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 21. May 2022

Snøgrensa kryp oppover og høgast er den lengst ut mot havet og i fjellsidene som har fått mest sol. Snøen som finst er generelt smelteomvandla, og den kan fryse om natta der det er klarvêr, men tiner i sola og der det er mildt og skya.

Mountain weather

Saturday 21. May 2022

1-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southeast during the afternoon. -1 °C to 6 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 22. May 2022

0-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from southeast. 0 °C to 3 °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 generelt stabil snø. Eit og anna skred kan gå i bratte fjellsider med våt snø, særleg om sola står på. Husk likevel at små skred kan gi store konsekvensar i terrengfeller og nært oppstikkande steinar. Hold god avstand til skavlar.
