Activity at the Soufrière Hills Volcano has been low this week.

Seven rockfalls were recorded on the seismic network.

The average sulphur dioxide measurement over six days this week was 696 tons per day, with a maximum of 1045 and a minimum of 476 tons per day.

There were no clear views of the dome this week, although there were partial views on the morning of 8 April. These showed no changes in the shape of the dome nor in the locations of fumarolic activity.

Despite the low level of activity, sporadic pyroclastic flows can and do occur without any warning. The Hazard Level is 3. There is no access to the terrestrial Zone C and only daytime transit access to shipping through the maritime extension of the zone.
