The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported that Taal Volcano experienced two phreatic eruptions on Tuesday, which lasted between two and fourteen minutes. These steam-driven eruptions generated plumes up to 900 meters high, drifting southwest.
On Monday, the volcano released 2,064 tons of sulfur dioxide, while upwelling of hot fluids was detected in the Main Crater Lake. Observations also noted a long-term deflation in Taal Caldera, alongside inflation in parts of the northern and southeastern flanks of the Taal Volcano Island.
Despite no volcanic earthquakes being recorded, PHIVOLCS has kept Taal at Alert Level 1, indicating ongoing unrest and potential hazards, including sudden eruptions, minor ashfall, and dangerous gas emissions. Public access to the Taal Volcano Island remains restricted.
