Note the very loose disclaimer on the part of USGS: "Kīlauea is not erupting," while "At this time, it is not possible to say with certainty if this activity will lead to an eruption"

Zoom in on the USGS map to view the large number of earthquakes that have rattled the area in and around Volcano, Hawaii.

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory issues Volcano Updates for Kīlauea as activity warrants
Issued: Sunday, June 2, 2024, 5:31 PM HST
Source: Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
Notice Number: 2024/H166
Location: N 19 deg 25 min W 155 deg 17 min
Elevation: 4091 ft (1247 m)
Area: Hawaii

Volcanic Activity Summary:
Kīlauea is not erupting. Increased earthquake activity and ground deformation at Kīlauea’s summit began at approximately 12:00 p.m. HST on June 2, 2024, indicating the likely movement of magma in the subsurface. Rates of seismicity and deformation increased further after 5:00 p.m. HST.

At this time, it is not possible to say with certainty if this activity will lead to an eruption – the activity may remain below ground. However, an eruption in Kīlauea’s summit region within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park is one potential outcome.

Accordingly, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) is raising the Volcano Alert Level for ground-based hazards from ADVISORY to WATCH and the Aviation Color Code from YELLOW to ORANGE.

HVO continues to closely monitor Kīlauea for signs of increasing activity. Should volcanic activity change significantly, a new Volcanic Activity Notice will be issued.

Rates of seismicity and ground deformation beneath the East Rift Zone and Southwest Rift Zone remain low. Current activity is restricted to the summit region.

Hazards are still present on Kīlauea and are described below. Residents and visitors should stay informed and follow County of Hawai‘i and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park guidelines.
