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

The seismic network recorded four rockfalls, one long period and five volcano-tectonic events.

The average sulphur dioxide measurement over three days this week was 569 tons per day with a maximum of 1172 and a minimum of 161 tons per day.

Due to low cloud were no clear views of the lava dome this week.

Lahars occurred in several valleys around the volcano on 7 July owing to heavy rain.

Despite the low level of activity, sporadic pyroclastic flows will continue to 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.
