The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Thursday, July 6 continued to observe pyroclastic density currents, rockfalls, and volcanic tremors from Mayon Volcano’s effusive eruption. | ManilaBulletin READ:
Phivolcs recorded seven pyroclastic density currents caused by a lava dome collapse lasting one to four minutes, and two PDC events caused by a lava front collapse producing a 300-meter-high light brown plume between 5 a.m. on Wednesday, July 5, and 5 a.m. on Thursday, July 6.
There were also sustained rockfall and PDC events on the Mi-isi, Bonga, and Basud gullies on the southern, southeastern, and eastern flanks of the volcano, respectively. This image from the Mayon Volcano Observatory captures the volcano's "intense glare, active degassing, and effusion" from its summit crater on June 29, 2023. According to Phivolcs, Mayon Volcano’s current activity still shows an “increased tendency toward hazardous eruption,” and as such, Alert Level 3 is maintained.
Phivolcs strongly advised the evacuation within the six-kilometer permanent danger zone due to PDCs, lava, rockfalls, and other volcanic hazards.
