The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 16.1 events/hour.
The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.
The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is medium, 0.99 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~21 mbar.
Tiltmeters analysis does not show any significant deformation of the volcano edifice
Thermal activity of explosive events is medium. The number of thermal transients in the NE sector of the crater (standard = 100) is high, 391. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 2.78 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is medium, 21 m/s.

In the last 24h, the volcanic activity is characterized by Strombolian explosions with MEDIUM acoustic pressures (max 0.99 bar), located at the NE crater sector. The degassing activity (puffing/spattering), mainly located at the NE sector, shows MEDIUM values (average of 21 mbar). The volcanic tremor has MEDIUM values. The number of VLP events is HIGH (16.1 events/hour). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show MEDIUM thermal anomalies (max 13.77 MW). SO2 flux shows MEDIUM values (116 t/d). CO2 flux, evaluated using the C/S ratio of 4.32, measured on 18/07/2026, is MEDIUM (577 t/d). The number of rockfalls is VERY HIGH (21 events detected in the last 24h, with HIGH pseudo-volumes involved). The Volcanic Activity Index is MEDIUM.
