Avalanche warning for region Tromsø Monday 23.05.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Avalanches can occur in steep terrain with wet snow. Keep good distance from cornices.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Sunday 22. May 2022

Det er i hovudsak eit vårleg snødekke, der snøoverflata består av smelteomvandla snø. Dei aller fleste stadar vil denne vere fuktig eller våt.

Med klarvêr, utstråling og minusgrader om natta har vore tilhøve for danning av kantkorn under nysnøen frå førre veke, men det er ikkje observert at dette har skjedd.

Denne veka har det gått mange små og middels store våte laussnøskred i tillegg til skavlbrot.

Snøgrensa stig og det er lite snø under ca. 200 moh.

Mountain weather

Sunday 22. May 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -3 °C to 8 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 23. May 2022

0-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. 1 °C to 11 °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 kan gå våte skred sidan det er manglande varmeutstråling om natta, milde temperaturar og sol utover dagen. Det er venta mest laussnøskred, men det kan også gå våte flakskred. Skred kan gå heile døgnet og skavlar kan brotne.
