The Smithsonian/USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report provides information about global volcanism on a weekly basis. Latest Kanlaon report has been published on 06 Jul 2026 11:54.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported continuing eruptive activity at Kanlaon during 24 June-1 July. The seismic network recorded 4-35 daily volcanic earthquakes. Sulfur dioxide emissions ranged from 944 to 3,762 tonnes per day. Volcanic emissions generally rose as high as 400 m above the summit and drifted NE, E, SE, and S; plumes rose as high as 2 km and drifted NE, E, ESE, and S on 26 June. Four periods of ash emissions were recorded on 1 July, each lasting 17-57 minutes long. Two of the events were recorded by webcams; at 1014 a grayish ash plume rose 700 m above the crater rim and drifted SW and during 1341-1438 grayish ash plumes rose as high as 750 m above the crater rim and drifted NNW. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 0-5); the public was warned to stay out of the 4-km-radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) and pilots were advised to avoid flying close to the summit.
