White Island Hot. 5 July 2019

Click to Enlarge
Local vulcanologists are recording the highest sulphur dioxide levels at White Island since the 2013 eruption series...one of our earliest forecast successes.
Major quake swarms just near the volcano in the last two months and the recent South of Kermadecs 7.2 are obvious pointers to ongoing heating.
Data isn't showing any real sign of an eruption in the next few days but data is always tenuous and the situation could change quickly.
Indications for another big South of Kermadecs/ Kermadecs quake are present however.
