An explosive eruption occurred at the summit vent of Kanlaon Volcano at 6:51 PM on Monday, June 3, 2024. PHIVOLCS reported that the eruption produced a voluminous and incandescent plume that rapidly rose to 5,000 meters above the vent. An explosive eruption occurred at the summit vent of Kanlaon Volcano, located in the provinces of Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental, at 6:51 p.m. on Monday evening.
The eruption also led to probable short pyroclastic density currents approximately two to three kilometers down the southern and southeastern slopes based on IP and thermal camera monitors. Coarse ashfall and sulfurous odors have since been reported in communities on western slopes of the volcano.The bureau said Kanlaon has been exhibiting above background earthquake activity for the past month, as well as degassing relatively anomalous sulfur dioxide that has averaged approximately 1,273 tonnes/day for the year.
The bureau strongly advises the public to be vigilant and avoid the four kilometer-radius Permanent Danger Zone to minimize risks from sudden explosions, rockfall, and landslides.
