Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Friday 19.05.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
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 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)

Thursday 18. May 2023

Snødekket drenerer godt og er smelteomvandlet høyt opp. Kjøligere vær 17.mai gav nysnø i fjellet og gjenfrysing, men det var små mengder snø som kom. Torsdag skinner sola igjen.

Eldre svake lag i snødekket er nå de fleste steder avrundet og nøytralisert. Men på tykkere snødekke høyt til fjells i skyggesider kan de fortsatt være intakte.

Mountain weather

Thursday 18. May 2023

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from west, changing to breeze from the south during renoon. -9 °C to 5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 19. May 2023

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest. -1 °C to 7 °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

Det er lett å løse ut våte skred. Særlig der det kom nysnø 17.mai. Enkelte skred kan også løsne av seg selv men sannsynligheten minker siden sola tok allerede torsdag.
