Taal Volcano at Alert Level 2 with fluctuating seismic activity

Taal Volcano remains at Alert Level 2 with continued steam emissions from its main crater.

Over the past week, the number of volcanic earthquakes fluctuated between 71 and 101, indicating ongoing magmatic activity beneath the volcano.

Weak emission of steam-laden plumes up to 100 meters high was observed, but sulfur dioxide emissions could not be detected.

Phivolcs warns that sudden explosions, ashfall, and volcanic gas expulsions may occur due to continued seismic activity.
