Overview: The summit eruption of Kilauea in Halema?uma?u remains paused following 9 hours of lava fountaining during episode 48 on June 1, 2026. Tiltmeters around the summit of Kilauea have measured inflation since the end of episode 48, indicating that an episode 49 is likely; forecast models indicate that the onset of fountaining episode 49 is 7-13 days from now and could occur between June 13-19. Glow was visible at the vents overnight and robust degassing plumes are visibly emanating from both vents in Halema?uma?u during the day.

Summit Observations: Bright and continuous glow was visible from the south vent in Halema?uma?u overnight, with intermittent glow visible from the north vent. Robust degassing plumes are visibly emanating from both vents in Halema?uma?u during the day.

Analysis: The abrupt switch from deflation to inflation continued at the end of episode 48 and indicates that an episode 49 is likely. Forecast models based on Kilauea summit region inflation rates suggest that the start of fountaining episode 49 is 7-13 days away and could occur between June 13-19. Forecast models and subject to change as more monitoring data are collected with each day and incorporated into the models.
