Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity:
Mayon (Luzon Island): The alert level for the volcano has been raised by PHILVOLCS. A weak incandescence is sometimes observed at the summit, and slight inflation has been detected, suggesting that magma has started to intrude into the volcanic edifice. On the other hand, SO2 and seismic parameters have not shown a significant increase, which probably means that an eruption is not imminent.
Batu Tara (Sunda Islands, Indonesia): The volcano remains active with often powerful strombolian explosions, and perhaps the effusion of a lava flow. An elongated thermal hot spot as well as a weak white steam plume visible on recent satellite images suggest that a lava flow might be active from the crater of the volcano these days.
Paluweh (off Flores Island, Indonesia): The lava dome remains active with occasional explosions and rock avalanches / pyroclastic flows travelling through the two main valleys to the SW and S.
