The expert then stressed that it was “hard to tell” whether Mayon’s high level of unrest would decrease or not.
“Mahirap sabihin na bababa na [ang level of unrest ng Mayon] kasi baka in the next few weeks ay may bagong development so hindi po natin masasabi. Kahit bumababa rin ang number of rockfalls and pyroclastic density currents, baka may chance na dumami [ulit ito] so mahirap pa talagang masabi for now,” Malipot added.
Meanwhile, Phivolcs said no pyroclastic density current, 40 volcanic earthquakes, and 45 rockfall events were also recorded in the volcano’s latest monitoring period. Mayon’s degassing of sulfur dioxide likewise persisted, emitting an average of 4,113 metric tons on July 28. Alert Level 3 is maintained over Mayon Volcano, which means that it is still in a “relatively high level of unrest.”RELATED STORIES
