The eruption has paused. Episode 26 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption ended at approximately 10:25 AM HST on June 20. Tremor has decreased significantly. Summit tilt has changed from rapid deflation to slow inflation.

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.
