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

The seismic network recorded three rockfalls and six volcano-tectonic events this week.

The average sulphur dioxide measurement over six days this week was 360 tons per day with a maximum of 645 and a minimum of 250 tons per day.

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

There was a moderate sized lahar in the Belham valley on 9 November associated with an intense thunderstorm.  Caution should be exercised crossing the Belham valley during periods of heavy rain.

Despite the low level of activity, pyroclastic flows can still occur without any warning. The Hazard Level is 2. There is daytime access (8:00 am to 4:00 pm) to Zone C. Maritime zone W remains daytime transit only (boats may sail through the zone but must not stop)
