HAWAIIAN VOLCANO OBSERVATORY DAILY UPDATE U.S. Geological Survey Saturday, January 17, 2026, 9:26 AM HST (Saturday, January 17, 2026, 19:26 UTC)Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE Activity Summary: The eruption of Halema?uma?u at the summit of Kilauea is paused. The current forecast for the onset of the next lava fountaining episode is currently between January 20 to 25, 2026 based on current inflation models. Sporadic earthquake swarm activity continues at the summit, with the most recent occurring just after 5:07 AM HST this morning. No significant activity has been noted along Kilauea’s East Rift Zone or Southwest Rift Zone. Summit Observations: Overnight webcam views show consistent glow from the south vent and weak sporadic glow from the north vent. Seismic tremor spikes gradually became more ragged yesterday and were replaced by relatively constant tremor before midnight yesterday. Constant low-level tremor continues this morning. Analysis: The rapid rebound of inflationary tilt, glow from the vents, and presence of low-level volcanic tremor after episode 40 indicate that another lava fountaining episode is likely. Current rates of reinflation suggest that the next fountaining episode is likely to occur between January 20 and 25. This forecast is subject to change, however, depending on changes in behavior of the volcano. |
