Kanlaon volcano spews ash anew on Sunday afternoon

Kanlaon Volcano emitted ash anew on Sunday afternoon, November 2, 2025, with another ash emission observed earlier that morning.

The ash emission at 1:48 p.m. generated grayish plumes that rose 400 meters above the crater before drifting to the southwest.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) also recorded a minor explosive eruption on October 24, 2025.

The volcano remains under Alert Level 2, indicating increased unrest and the possibility of sudden phreatic eruptions.

Sulfur dioxide emissions previously averaged 2,313 tons per day, and eight volcanic earthquakes were recorded on November 1, 2025.

The volcano's edifice is inflated, suggesting magma movement below the surface.

Entry into the four-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) and flying aircraft near Kanlaon are prohibited under Alert Level 2.
