The Fuego volcano is currently exhibiting unusual behavior, with an eruptive phase that has been ongoing for over 24 hours. This activity involves the constant emission of material from the crater, resulting in dense columns of gas, lava, and ash. The ash is dispersing to the west and northwest, while pyroclastic density currents are being expelled to the southwest.
These currents are affecting several nearby areas, including the Seca, Taniluyá, and Ceniza barrancas. With the current rainy season, there is a possibility of lahars forming with volcanic material in the barrancas, laderas, and nearby rivers. Further details about the volcanic activity and its effects are available from local sources, including updates on the ongoing situation and any potential risks to the surrounding area.
