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

The seismic network recorded five rockfalls and nine volcano-tectonic events this week.

The average sulphur dioxide measurement over seven days this week was 286 tons per day with a maximum of 531 and a minimum of 147 tons per day.

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

Heavy rainfall on 8 and 10 August caused lahars in several valleys around the volcano.

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.
