Pacific Summary. 28 June 2025 - 30 June 2025
High solar wind speed of 800km/second kept the weak period running until 30 June with a mild tectonic response expected late in the period. A mild quake response occurred on 29 June with excellent risk location success 100km south of Mindanao in the Molucca Sea. The Scotia Sea 6.6 is in a very difficult area to forecast. A weak volcanic response occurred during the forecast period. Kilauea is erupting regularly with very high 300m+ lava fountains. Strong volcanic activity at Kyushu during the period is slightly worrying in that Japanese psychic Ryo Tatsuki forecasted this area in 1999 for a big undersea eruption and tsunami. Shinmoedake erupted on 22 June for the first time since June 2018 and Suwanosejima also with decent ash eruptions. A undersea ongoing Mag 5 quake swarm south of Suwanosejima began at the same time as the 22 June eruption of Shinmoedake on Kyushu. These volcanos all erupt regularly with minor ash eruptions but right now they seem to be all active at the same time and with slightly stronger eruptions than normal. 28 June. 100km South of Mindanao 6.1 11.07am Scotia Sea 6.6 8.32pm Eruption Suwanosejima 29 June.
