Lava fountains erupting from the north vent are up to 1,115 ft (340 m) in height as measured by an HVO field crew. Winds are light and variable; tephra is falling within the crater and to the S-SW.

Lava fountains erupting from the north vent are over 1,000 ft (305 m) in height.

Lava fountains from the north vent are about 1,000 ft (305 m) high. The south vent has remained inactive or minimally active so far. NE winds are blowing tephra toward the S-SW. Lava flows are covering parts of Halema'uma'u crater floor.

Lava fountains from north vent are over 650 ft (200 m) high. The eruptive plume is more than 6,500 ft (2,000 m) above ground level. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rates during high fountaining are typically 50,000-75,000 tonnes/day.

Episode 27 of the ongoing Halema'uma'u eruption is underway. Sustained lava fountains began at 8:03 AM and grew slowly until 9:03 AM when height and vigor increased dramatically, summit inflation changed to deflation, and tremor incrased.
Kilauea Message 2025-06-29 08:52:33 HST
Lava fountains from the north vent are currently reaching heights of about 200 feet (60 meters).
Kilauea Message 2025-06-29 08:36:28 HST
Lava fountains and flows from the north vent have increased in vigor. High fountaining has not yet begun, but could begin very soon.
Kilauea Message 2025-06-29 08:28:08 HST
Episode 27 high lava fountaining is likely to start today or tomorrow, quite possibly within the next few hours. Precursory activity has escalated. Small lava fountains are occuring in north vent, lava is flowing onto the crater floor.

Episode 27 precursory low-level activity began around 7:27 AM on June 28 with intermittent lava overflows from north vent. Sustained lava fountaining is likely to begin June 29 or 30 based on summmit inflation rate but could begin sooner.

Ongoing Halema'uma'u eruption is paused. Updated forecast window for start of episode 27 lava fountaining is June 30 - July 3. Intermittent lava spattering is occuring in north vent. Summit inflation, tremor, degassing, vent glow continues.
