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

The seismic network recorded three rockfalls and two volcano-tectonic earthquakes.

The average sulphur dioxide measurement over seven days this week was 367 tonnes per day with a maximum of 620 and a minimum of 197 tonnes per day.

Pyroclastic flows can still occur at any time without any warning. Lahars (mudflows) remain a hazard.  Tracks across the Belham valley are frequently destroyed or heavily modified by lahars, therefore caution should be exercised crossing the valley during and after rainfall.

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).
