The effusive eruption at the volcano continues at low levels.
The spattering activity is confined only to a few vents located in the lowest part of the eruptive fissure.
The volcanic tremor continues at only 10 % of its initial phase. According to the local observatory OVPF, earthquakes seem to disappear beneath the edifice over the past 24 hours.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions reached to a 2300 tonnes during the 24 hours.
Given the current unfavorable weather conditions, it is not able to gain lava flow data.
