The volcano remains relatively calm at the surface although many people are almost expecting it to produce another paroxysms in the very near future.
Whether this might happen or not cannot be predicted, but deep-seated explosions have increased again, as detected by low-frequency acoustic pressure waves by the network of the Experimental Laboratory of Volcanology of the University of Florence (LGS). Most of these come from the conduit feeding the New SE crater complex, indicating the presence of degassing magma not too far from the surface.
On the other hand, volcanic tremor and other parameters remain at low levels of intensity, but things can change very quickly at Etna as we know.
