Popocatépetl is Mexico’s most active volcano and has been erupting for decades about 45 miles southeast of Mexico City.
Mexico’s most active volcano, along with the jet stream pattern, sent ash over the Gulf of Mexico and Florida on Saturday, allowing the emissions to be visible to pilots and sunset seekers.NOAA satellites detected plumes that started from the Popocatépetl volcano and traveled hundreds of miles to the northeast.
Popocatépetl has been active since 1994 and has gone through episodes of increased activity, including forcing 40,000 residents from their homes in December 2000.In May 2023, ash emissions forced authorities to open evacuation shelters, close nearby schools, and temporarily shut down airfields, including Mexico City’s Benito Juárez International Airport.
