Despite limited direct observations in recent weeks, webcam images from Whakatāne and Te Kaha continue to show a rise in ash content within a steam and gas plume at Whakaari/White Island. Similarly, the MetService has detected small amounts of ash in the plume using satellite imagery. From the coast, this appears as a hazy trail extending downwind from the volcano. These signs point to a gradual increase in eruptive activity, prompting the Volcanic Alert Level to be raised to Level 3.
Recent observation and gas measurement flights, along with satellite data, confirm this gradual rise in ash emissions. Although the emissions remain minor, northerly winds can carry the gas and ash plume toward the coast, where residents may notice sulphur-like odours. At this time, ash fall is not expected to impact the Bay of Plenty coastline.
