Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Tuesday 31.05.2022

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)

Monday 30. May 2022

Regionen har et vårlig snødekke, der snøoverflaten består av smelteomvandla snø. De aller fleste steder vil denne være fuktig eller våt.

Mandag ble det observert et lite naturlig utløst skred på sørsiden av Kaperdalen på Senja.

Mountain weather

Monday 30. May 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from northeast. 6 °C to 16 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Tuesday 31. May 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from east. 6 °C to 16 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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 ventet en ny fin sommerdag. Solinnstråling og varme temperaturer gjør at det fortsatt kan være lett å løse ut små våte løssnøskred. Husk at også små skred kan gi konsekvenser nær terrengfeller. Hold god avstand til glidesprekker og skavler.
