Activity at the Soufrière Hills Volcano remained at a low level.

Seismic activity was low, with five volcano-tectonic earthquakes, four rockfalls and one long-period event.

The average sulphur dioxide flux was 477 tons per day, with a minimum of 218 and a maximum of 1042.

There were no clear views of the dome during the week.

An increase in volcanic activity could occur at any time and with no warning. Lahars are always a potential hazard in river valleys around the volcano during and after periods of heavy rain.

The Hazard Level is 3. There is no access to Zone C.

Additionally for further explanations of the volcanic phenomena described, and information about the Soufrière Hills Volcano and the ongoing eruption, please look at the MVO website: Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
