There’s not much to say about Halemaʻumaʻu at the moment – there are sometimes short overflows that are apparently pretty cool ( they come out with some crust from the cone ) and very brief in time and lava tongue…. but the cone seems to be growing

Whether this massive weather affects the active Halemaʻumaʻu volcano or not (outside air pressure could cap it), it definitely affects the measurement technology – so better not take the values too seriously.
Nolo will intensify and become a major hurricane

The V1 image on the webcam page looked 'weird,' like a leftover lava flow next to the N crater, but the thermal image showed nothing .... so going back in time ➜ the N crater is like a campfire and has formed a chimney / side crater ....

I waited for the HVO update to see if there’s anything new, which isn’t really visible ....
As it looks ( my assumption ), a wrong form was uploaded, but it’s interesting because it contains certain conditions.

We all love and need measurement technology – but it has its limits.
Weather conditions are one of them – in Iceland we know that much more, and now also in Hawaii ....

There are currently no active lava flows. Minor deformation and seismicity are confined to the summit region. Details are in today's Kīlauea update: volcanoes.usgs.gov/hans-public/...
Possibilities are outlined in the September 15 Status Report.

I'm having problems with loading the USGS pages at the moment - only this much I know

Another new vent, vent 6, opened on the floor of Halema'uma'u crater just to the north of vent 5 ...

Former HPPAer & now volcano student/photographer Yvonne Baur was recently at Hawai'i Volcanoes NP watching the summit of #Kīlauea:
🌋Vent Activity
Neither the N nor S vents are fountaining but they show pretty amazing Strombolian activity, where lava spatter is shot into the air in bursts.

GOOD MORNING, my dears 👋 🤗 🥰
Yes, I know what the HVO wrote and I know the definition of the word eruption .... to me it looks more like lava being squeezed up from the lava lake rather than a real lava flow. It's very little and it doesn't really flow much.

Good morning, dear ones 👋 🤗 🥰
There isn't really any news to report, so let's be surprised

Intermittent spattering continues from the north vent cone tonight.

Kīlauea has now changed everything - geologically
The magma AND gas behavior are different from all previous episodes - it secretly produces a fountain whose splashes happily form a lava mound - not even a real cone yet 😯

Greetings to you all, and enjoy the weekend 👋 🤗 🥰
Nothing has happened at Kīlauea yet - it's been 6 days now ...... 🤔 🤔
But what a great sunrise ...... 😍

A little update
The lead-up phase to episode 55, with so far 69 overflows, is by far the one with the most overflows - and the bubble fountain isn't getting any bigger and this quasi-straight line during inflation has never happened before either

At the moment, the weather is merciful ....

Kīlauea lava fountaining episode 55 precursory overflows continued for the past 24 h with 29 overflows in total from the N vent
Fountaining episode 55 could begin today / tomorrow
