The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 16 events/hour.
The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.
The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is high, 1.29 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~22 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, 350. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 6.18 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is low, 15 m/s.
MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 6 MW (02:55 UTC yesterday).
Rockfall activity is high. The number of rockfalls is 15 per day.
SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 122 t/d
CO2 flux based on the C/S of 2.21 mesured at 07:20 UTC on 2026/07/20 is low, 281 t/d

In the last 24h, the volcanic activity is characterized by Strombolian explosions with HIGH acoustic pressures (max 1.29 bar), located at the NE crater sector. The degassing activity (puffing/spattering), mainly located at the NE sector, shows MEDIUM values (average of 22 mbar). The volcanic tremor has MEDIUM values. The number of VLP events is HIGH (16 events/hour). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show LOW thermal anomalies (max 6 MW). SO2 flux shows MEDIUM values (122 t/d). CO2 flux, evaluated using the C/S ratio of 2.21, measured on 20/07/2026, is LOW (281 t/d). The number of rockfalls is HIGH (15 events detected in the last 24h, with LOW to VERY HIGH pseudo-volumes involved). The Volcanic Activity Index is MEDIUM.
