Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Monday 17.05.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Conditions for wet avalanches. Be careful in wet and soaking snowpack.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 16. May 2021

Varmen dei siste dagane har påvirka og omdanna mykje av snødekket. Lågt i fjellet er snøen grovkorna, høgare til fjells er snøen meir lagdelt og finkorna.

Kantkornlag er varmepåvirka og er gradvis i ferd med å forsvinne.

Mountain weather

Sunday 16. May 2021

4 mm precipitation, up to 9 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from east. -4 °C to 0 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 17. May 2021

0-3 mm precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -2 °C to 5 °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

Kraftig varme vil gje smelting og vassmetting i snødekket. Det gir forhold for naturlig utløste våte skred utpå dagen. Vær varsom i og ved skredterreng.
