Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Friday 06.05.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Large amounts of rain and high temperatures will weaken the snowpack considerably. Keep good distance to avalanche terrain and run out zones for wet avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

Glide avalanches

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 6. May 2022

Snøoverflaten er i hovedsak smelteomvandlet. Varmen gjør at nordsider også har våt snø høyt opp. Sola har tatt godt på dagen og smeltingen går fort. Rygger og rabber er nå bare. Snøgrensa kryper oppover og i lavlandet er det langt til snøen.

Kantkorn høyt i snødekket i nordsider kan ikke utelukkes men er svært vanskelig å påvirke og er derfor ikke regnet som et skredproblem lenger.

Mountain weather

Thursday 5. May 2022

6 mm precipitation, up to 14 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1400 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. -2 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 6. May 2022

15 mm precipitation, up to 35 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1600 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -1 °C to 3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Våte skred kan løsne av seg selv. Mye regn og høye temperaturer høyt til fjells vil øke skredfaren. Mest nedbør vil komme fredag ettermiddag.

Faren for store glideskred vil også øke, glideskred kan løsne hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.

Hold god avstand til skavler.
