USGS October 2: There have been no overflows or spatter from north or vents in the past 24 hours, although there was strong glow and flames from the vents overnight. The summit intrusion that happened the night of September 30 to October 1 did not reactive in the last 24 hours, although earthquake activity has continued underneath Halemaʻumaʻu. A summit tiltmeter near Uēkahuna also recorded modest inflation.

Episode 55 fountaining remains a possibility during the ongoing Kīlauea summit eruption. It is also possible that intrusive activity below Kīlauea summit caldera could resume and potentially lead to the eruption of lava in a new location within the caldera.

No anomalous seismic activity or deformation has occurred outside of the summit region, and no significant activity has been noted along Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone or Southwest Rift Zone.
