Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Monday 30.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Small wet loose avalanches will be easy to trigger. This is most likely in at high elevations where fresh snow from this weekend might get warm for the first time.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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 29. May 2022

I lavlandet består snøoverflaten stort sett av våt eller fuktig smelteomvandlet snø. Høyt til fjells har det kommet noe snø i de siste dagene, som nå er tørr eller fuktig avhengig av høyde og himmelretning. Det er fortsatt mye snø i regionen for årstiden.

Mountain weather

Sunday 29. May 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to calm/light breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -4 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 30. May 2022

0-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1800 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -2 °C to 7 °C at 1400 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 vil være lett å løse ut våte løssnøskred i enkelte bratte heng. Dette vil være mest utpreget i høyden dersom sola tar på fersk snø fra helgen.
