Beware of high temperatures causing wet, spontaneous avalanches.
Avalanche danger is bound to the highest positions of the Tatras. The risk is posed by spontaneous avalanches from wet snow, which can break loose on any oriented slope. Due to high temperatures and the absence of night frosts, avalanche activity is possible already in the morning and mid-morning hours. Foundation avalanches may also occur. The Avalanche Prevention Centre is ending avalanche reports today. Avalanche reports will be updated if the avalanche situation changes significantly.
Snowpack
High temperatures and the absence of overnight frosts cause the snowpack to become soggy throughout the profile. Snow stability will decrease as the day progresses and as air temperatures increase. The boundary of the continuous snow cover is rising day by day, currently from about 1500 to 1600 m above sea level depending on orientation.
