Fountains from the north vent are currently about 300-350 feet (100 meters) high and south vent fountains are about half that large. Winds are currently from the northeast blowing to the southwest.

Tremor and summit tilt indicate that episode 42 fountaining began at 13:50 pm HST following the onset of continuous overflows at 13:08 pm HST.

Both north and south vents overflowing with dome fountains 20-5 feet (5-10 meters) high. Largest precursory overflows so far. Vigor suggests onset of episode 42 fountains may be close.
Kilauea Message 2026-02-15 12:46:01 HST
The south vent began overflowing at 12:20 and is continuing at this time fed by a 15-20 foot (5 meter) high dome fountain. There were about 10 small overflows split evenly between the vents since yesterday afternoon.
