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

The seismic network recorded ten rockfall, twelve volcano-tectonic, one hybrid and three long period events this week.

The average sulphur dioxide measurement over six days this week was 433 tons per day with a maximum of 614 and a minimum of 243 tons per day.

Brief partial views of the dome showed no changes in morphology and there were no fresh rockfall deposits identified.

Despite the low level of activity, sporadic pyroclastic flows can 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.
