Here’s the Montserrat Volcano Observatory (MVO) Weekly Volcanic Report for the period Friday, 14 June to Friday, 21 June 2024.

Activity at the Soufriere Hills Volcano remains low.

The seismic network detected 14 Volcano-Tectonic earthquakes, 12 Hybrid earthquakes, one Long-Period earthquake, and four Rockfalls. The Long-Period and Hybrid earthquakes, and the two Volcano-tectonic earthquakes, occurred in a 20-hour-long swarm on 16 and 17 June 2024.

According to the MVO Director Dr Graham Ryan, while this is the highest rate of Hybrid and Long Period activity seen since a swarm in August 2012, it is still very low. Furthermore, we do not see any significant variations in any of our other monitoring data to suggest an imminent change in volcanic activity is likely.
