More rockfall events, pyroclastic density current (PDC) events, and sulfur dioxide emission had been observed over the Mayon Volcano in the past 24 hours, the PHIVOLCS said Thursday. Alert Level 3 is still raised over Mayon Volcano.
In its 8 a.m. bulletin, PHIVOLCS said 243 rockfall events as well as seven dome collapse PDC events and two lava front collapse PDC events were reported.
Alert Level 3 is still raised over Mayon Volcano, which means “it is currently in a relatively high level of unrest as magma is at the crater and hazardous eruption within weeks or even days is possible.” Very slow effusion of lava flows were observed along Basud gully extending up to 4 kilometers, along Mi-isi gully up to 2.8 kilometers, and along Bonga gully up to 1.3 kilometers.PHIVOLCS warned that heavy rainfall could generate channel-confined lahars and sediment-laden streamflows in channels where PDC deposits are emplaced.
It added that pilots should avoid flying close to the volcano’s summit as ash from any sudden eruption can be hazardous to aircraft.
