In Guatemala, the Fuego volcano has become more active again compared to the past few weeks. Today, the VAAC issued a VONA warning stating that volcanic ash has risen up to an altitude of 5200 m. The wind has carried the ash cloud in a western direction, leading to ashfall in the communities in that direction.
The volcanologists from INSIVUMEH released their observations in a daily update yesterday. They reported 5 to 8 eruptions per hour on the previous day, with ash clouds reaching an altitude of up to 4700 m. The ash has shifted up to 15 km to the west, causing light ashfall in areas such as Finca Palo Verde, Sangre de Cristo, San Pedro Yepocapa, and Acatenango.
