Volcano monitoring data plots are temporarily unavailable on the USGS website due to a server malfunction. USGS staff are working on resolving the issue, but it may be several days before it is resolved. Internally, volcano monitoring data is accessible and USGS staff are able to monitor volcanic activity. We apologize for this temporary outage and hope to have it resolved soon. 

 

Kīlauea Daily Updates will continue to be issued each morning and include a summary of the past 24 hours of monitoring data: Kīlauea - Volcano Updates | U.S. Geological Survey

As the Kīlauea Daily Update this morning states, the Uēkahuna tiltmeter (UWD) has recorded 20.0 microradians of re-inflation beneath Kīlauea summit since the end of episode 39 of lava fountaining.  Tilt has been relatively flat since over the past two days. An updated plot of tilt at station UWD is provided below showing data from December 24, 2025 (the end of episode 39) through today, January 6, 2025. Forecasting models suggest the window for lava fountaining episode 40 is between January 9 and 14.
