Mayon Volcano remains on alert level 3, which means there is still an “increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption.” ManilaBulletin READ:
As it closely monitors the frequency of PDC occurrences, Phivolcs urged the communities within the seven- and eight-kilometer radius to be ready in case the current activity worsens.
Phivolcs recorded 33 PDC events caused by dome collapse from the summit crater of Mayon Volcano as well as the collapsing front and margins of the advancing lava flows on the upper to middle slopes at 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 9. The VMLH infrared camera captured this image of the pyroclastic density current events on the Basud Gully, on the eastern flank of the Mayon Volcano, on June 30, 2023. According to Phivolcs, the volcano's sulfur dioxide emissions also increased on Sunday, averaging 943 tons per day.
Phivolcs noted that the seismic energy release has been sustained at generally the same level since June 15. Pilots were also asked to avoid flying close to the volcano because ash from a sudden eruption may pose hazards to aircraft.Mayon Volcano remains on alert level 3, which means there is still an “increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption.”
