Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Message 2026-06-17 02:50:33 HST
A deep, magnitude 4.5 earthquake occurred offshore of Hawaiʻi Island at 2:14 am HST. Over 150 felt reports within the first half hour. Light shaking, no significant damage expected. No change to eruption. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-14 17:14:02 HST
Episode 49 ended at 5:05 p.m. HST after 7.5 hours of fountaining. The north vent fountain dropped rapidly from 200-300 hundred feet (60-90 m) just after 5 p.m. and then began jetting tephra in bursts for the last 2-3 minutes. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-14 16:44:02 HST
The north vent fountain has dropped to about 300 feet (90 m) and continues to feed a lava flow on the south and east sides of Halemaʻumaʻu. Winds are variable but field crews found no significant ash fall on the north side of the summit. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-14 13:25:56 HST
The north vent fountain has dropped to about 400 feet (120 m) high and is feeding a flow along the south side of Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Summit tilt at UWD has dropped over 10 microradians and produced over 4 million cubic yards of lava. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-14 12:02:44 HST
The north vent fountain is now averaging about 600 feet (185 m) high. Maximum effusion rate during the highest fountains was about 420 cubic yards per second (320 m3/sec). Lava has covered about 30-40% of the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu. View All Messages.

HVO monitors earthquakes and the active volcanoes in Hawaii, assesses their hazards, issues warnings, and advances scientific understanding to reduce the impacts of volcanic eruptions. Communicating the results of our work to the public, emergency managers, and the scientific community is an important aspect of the HVO mission.

Episodic eruption at Kīlauea summit

Color photograph of lava fountain

This eruption is within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Lava flows are contained to the caldera, but fallout from the lava fountains can affect communities downwind. 

Eruption Information

Is tephra falling? We want to know.

If you live in an area downwind of Kīlauea summit and are experiencing tephra fall, support science and community awareness by making a tephra fall report.

Where has tephra fallout been reported?

Color map showing area of volcanic fallout

Tephra is material erupted from a volcano that travels through the air. Volcanic ash, Pele's hair, and other tephra have fallen on communities downwind during lava fountaining episodes at the summit of Kīlauea. 

See map of current tephra fall reports
