U.S. Geological Survey
Friday, April 1, 2022, 3:05 PM HST (Saturday, April 2, 2022, 01:05 UTC)

KILAUEA VOLCANO (VNUM #332010)
19°25'16" N 155°17'13" W, Summit Elevation 4091 ft (1247 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

UPDATE: The summit eruption of Kīlauea Volcano, within Halemaʻumaʻu crater, continues at this time. Starting at approximately 10:00 am HST today, summit tilt began a small deflationary trend. The deflationary tilt signal continues at the time of this report, but the rate is starting to slow down and may flatten out or reverse overnight. Summit tremor remains elevated and steady and the level of the active lava lake within Halema‘uma‘u crater has not dropped significantly. Based on previous observations, lava will likely be on the surface of the active lava lake this evening.
