South vent shut down at approximately 10:25 AM. Lava flows are continuing to move slowly from the vents onto the crater floor as they cool and solidify. Summit deflationary tilt has stopped. Strong tremor continues.

North vent shut down at approximately 10:07 AM. Lava fountains under 160 ft (50 m) high and flows are still erupting from the south vent. Strong tremor continues.

Lava fountains and flows continue from both vents as of 7:30 AM. North vent has been much more active. Peak heights early this morning likely set a new record for this eruption. Heights are now ~650 ft (200 m) with frequent higher bursts.

Episode 26 precursory low-level activity started within Halemaʻumaʻu at 11:26 p.m. HST on June 19 when lava began overflowing from the north vent. Episode 26 fountaining is likely to begin within the next 24 hours.
Kilauea Message 2025-06-16 15:56:14 HST
Episode 26 lava fountaining will likely begin between June 18 and 20 based on current rates of summit inflation. This forecast window may change as new data come in. Fountaining could be preceded by hours to days of precursory activity.

The eruption remains paused. Summit inflation continues along with low level seismic tremor. Glow is visible overnight at the north and south vents. The average sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rate during pauses is about 1,200 tonnes per day.

The eruption has paused. Episode 25 ended at 8:08 PM when fountains stopped erupting from the south vent. Tremor continued for a short while after surface activity stopped, but has now stabilized. Gradual inflationary tilt has resumed.
