This is the highest ever recorded lake temperature, and has resulted in evaporation and a 6 m drop in water level. Steam plumes are visible at the island. Sulphur dioxide emissions have risen from 300 to approximately 500 tonnes per day. The alert level at the volcano remains at 1 (out of a maximum 5).
