There has been an marked increase in shallow deformation and seismicity centered beneath the current vent region in Halemaʻumaʻu. Patterns of inflation and earthquakes suggest that a shallow east-west dike is being emplaced in this area.

Kīlauea summit seismicity has increased. Tremor began increasing around noon today. A swarm of small earthquakes occurred beneath the vent area between 2-3 PM. Summit tilt accelerated around 2:30 PM with inflation centered near the vents.

The second precursory flow ended at 12:18 am HST on September 23 after 34 minutes. Tilt remains flat and tremor unchanged during both overflows. This activity can go on for hours or days prior to a change in eruptive behavior.

The current dome fountain from the vent is approximately 80 feet (25 meters) high. It is feeding two lava flows that extend about 500 to 1000 feet (150-300 meters) to the northwest and southeast from the north vent.

The north, south, and west vents are all producing strong glow and frequent flames tonight. Magma is high in the conduit but below levels where continuous spattering is visible. Slow inflation continues; no activity outside of the summit.
Kilauea Message 2026-09-20 10:16:48 HST
No major changes overnight. Inflation has slowed significantly at the summit. All vents glowed brightly last night. Spatter seen in south and west vents.
