The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 18.3 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.

The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is high, 1.6 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~20 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, 363. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 5 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is medium, 30 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 6 MW (00:48 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is low. The number of rockfalls is 3 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 101 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 2.05 mesured at 21:20 UTC on 2024/07/23 is medium, 458 t/d

In the last 24h, the volcanic activity is characterized by Strombolian explosions with MEDIUM to HIGH acoustic pressures (max 1.6 bar), located at the NE crater sector. The degassing activity (puffing/spattering), mainly located at the SW sector, shows MEDIUM values (average of 20 mbar). The volcanic tremor has MEDIUM values. The number of VLP events is HIGH (18.3 events/hour). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show LOW thermal anomalies (6 MW) SO2 flux shows MEDIUM values (101 t/d). CO2 flux, evaluated using the C/S ratio of 2.05, measured on 21:20 of 23/07/2026, is MEDIUM (458 t/d). The number of rockfalls is LOW (3 events detected in the last 24h, with LOW to MEDIUM pseudo-volumes involved). The Volcanic Activity Index is MEDIUM.
