Avalanche warning for region Tromsø Monday 06.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable avalanche conditions. Use caution in areas with cornices and where the sun makes the snow surface wet and soft.

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)

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)

Sunday 5. May 2024

Mildvær og regn har påvirket snøoverflaten i alle himmelretninger, selv høyt til fjells. Siden fredag har temperaturen sunket og snødekket har begynt å fryse på igjen.

Under ca 400 moh er det førefall i sørvendt terreng, med vått og "råttent" snødekke. Det er stedvis lite snø under 200 moh.

Mountain weather

Sunday 5. May 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from north. -6 °C to 1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 6. May 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from northeast. -8 °C to 1 °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 være lett å løse ut små skred i bratt terreng der snøen fortsatt ikke har fryst til.

Hold god avstand til skavler.
