Mountain Conditions
Thursday 5th August 2021, 08:24hrs: Very light snow falling at present; only a few cm at most levels (800+) so far. Variable snowfall lines forecast over next few days, with heaviest possible falls (rain & snow) being on Sunday.
|
03/08/2021 10:44hrs: About 5 - 10cm of fresh snow fell during last night's storm-cycle; most of this has landed above 1500m, though dustings did reach 1000m for a time. Tomorrow is likely fine, however the fresh snow won't make anything easier or safer on approach. Snowfall returns on Thursday to 1000m.
|
31/07/2021 07:14hrs: Only light rainfall was received in the past 24 hours, accompanied by a light 1700m+ snowfall. Today sees initially clear skies becoming cloudy by late afternoon. There was no solid freeze overnight (1600m), so conditions could be quite variable.
The snow-pack is deep at altitude (1700m+), with quite variable conditions lower. General snowline is about 1450m - 1550m.
The weather should deteriorate from tomorrow with showers and snowfalls progressively lowering to 700m by Tuesday.
|
30/07/2021 07:36hrs: A new storm-cycle arrives from this evening bringing heavy rainfall to the Alps for 24 hours south of Arthur's Pass. At this moment we are receiving drizzle with snow flurries 1500m+, and unclear whether we will get heavier rainfall. Avalanche activity will rise with the onset of any higher level rainfall.
The snow-pack is deep at altitude (1700m+), with quite variable conditions lower. General snowline is about 1450m - 1550m.
