Activity at the Soufrière Hills Volcano remained at a low level this week.

Seismic activity was very low, with one rockfall and four volcano-tectonic earthquakes.

There appear to be no major changes in the structure of the dome nor in fumarolic activity.

Sulphur dioxide flux results are not yet available.

An increase in volcanic activity could occur at any time and with no warning. Lahars are always a potential hazard in river valleys around the volcano during and after periods of heavy rain.

The Hazard Level is 3. There is no access to Zone C.
