Kilauea Message 2026-06-27 08:44:17 HST
The second large precursory overflow from the north vent began at 8:58 am HST. Fed by a low dome fountain (10 feet or 3 m high) without much spattering, similar to the first overflow that ended at 7:15 am after 15 minutes of eruption.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-27 07:05:33 HST
The north vent began a vigorous overflow at 6:57 am HST this morning that is continuing. There was no spattering from north vent overnight, but the south vent had periodic gas jets with spatter. Trade winds from the NE are dominant today.

Episode 50 precursory activity increased at ~8:50 AM on June 26 with small lava flows from north vent and increased spattering and gas jetting. Kīlauea alert levels raised to WATCH/ORANGE. Fountaining will likely start today.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-26 07:05:22 HST
The summit eruption resumed with weak precursory spattering overnight that deposited small amounts of near vent spatter. Alert level remains at YELLOW//ADVISORY until precursory overflows begin. Episode 50 fountains likely today.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-25 20:47:41 HST
Gas jetting, large flames, and frequently spatter occur every 5-10 minutes at the south vent and are marked by large tremor spikes. Good example at 8:41 p.m. HST. The north vent continues to produce small spatter bursts. No overflows yet.
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Message 2026-06-24 08:53:39 HST
A moderate magnitude 3.6 earthquake occurred at 5 miles (7 km) depth beneath the southflank of Kīlauea volcano at 8:29 am HST today. This quake is not directly related to magmatic activity.
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Message 2026-06-17 02:50:33 HST
A deep, magnitude 4.5 earthquake occurred offshore of Hawaiʻi Island at 2:14 am HST. Over 150 felt reports within the first half hour. Light shaking, no significant damage expected. No change to eruption.

Episode 49 ended at 5:05 p.m. HST after 7.5 hours of fountaining. The north vent fountain dropped rapidly from 200-300 hundred feet (60-90 m) just after 5 p.m. and then began jetting tephra in bursts for the last 2-3 minutes.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-14 16:44:02 HST
The north vent fountain has dropped to about 300 feet (90 m) and continues to feed a lava flow on the south and east sides of Halemaʻumaʻu. Winds are variable but field crews found no significant ash fall on the north side of the summit.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-14 13:25:56 HST
The north vent fountain has dropped to about 400 feet (120 m) high and is feeding a flow along the south side of Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Summit tilt at UWD has dropped over 10 microradians and produced over 4 million cubic yards of lava.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-14 12:02:44 HST
The north vent fountain is now averaging about 600 feet (185 m) high. Maximum effusion rate during the highest fountains was about 420 cubic yards per second (320 m3/sec). Lava has covered about 30-40% of the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu.
Kilauea Message 2026-06-14 10:44:32 HST
The north vent fountains are now about 700 feet (210 m) high and creating more ash and tephra. The plume cloud is now at approximately 17,000 feet a.s.l. and is moving mostly to the southwest with Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
