Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Saturday 25.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Limited forecasts due to strike.
Generally stable conditions. The snow surface in the mountain will refreeze due to lower temperatures. Be careful in steep terrain at lower altitudes if the snow is wet and loose. If so, it could be possible to trigger small wet loose avalanches.

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)

Friday 24. May 2024

Snødekket er i all hovedsak smelteomvandlet og gjennomfuktet og smeltes fort. Den ferske fokksnøen fra starten av uken er påvirket av mildværet torsdag, selv i høyfjellet. I lavere strøk og rundt framstikkende steiner er snøen råtten.

På målestasjonen Lyngen Gjerdvassbu (710moh) ble det målt 16 grader torsdag.

Mountain weather

Friday 24. May 2024

1-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l Friday night. Moderate gale from west, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -4 °C to 4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 25. May 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from west, changing to breeze from the southwest during the evening. -6 °C to 4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Avalanche risk assessment

Generelt stabile forhold.
Kald vind fra vest gir mindre smelting i overflata og det blir vanskelig å løse ut våte skred.
I enkelte lune solsider kan det fortsatt være mulig for en skiløper å løse ut små skred, men utbredelsen er begrenset.

Unngå områder under glidesprekker og hold god avstand til skavler.
