Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Friday 19.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but danger of wet avalanches in steep terrain. Sun-exposed mountainsides are most exposed, especially during the afternoon.

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)

Thursday 18. May 2023

Varme, sterk sol og nedbør som regn til fjelltopphøyde preget forrige uke. Kjøligere vær denne uka gav gjenfrysing til skare og et lite dryss med nysnø før 17. mai. Nå tar sol og varme igjen over og mykner snøen.

Observasjoner fra Rosendal lørdag viser til isotermt snødekke i nordvendt side på 1300 moh. Noen løsere lag av eldre smelteomdanna kantkorn mot bakken, men disse regnes ikke som noe aktivt skredproblem.

Mountain weather

Thursday 18. May 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from west, changing to breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -8 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 19. May 2023

1-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from southwest. -1 °C to 8 °C at 1400 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

Skredfaren er knyttet til våt og myk snø i bratte heng. Skyet vær og litt regn kan gi fravær av nattefrost og et våtere snødekke gjennom hele døgnet. Dersom solen titter frem kan sannsynligheten for å løse ut skred øke, spesielt på ettermiddagen.
