HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii — Kilauea continues to rumble, although the volcano is not currently erupting. 

On Tuesday, Kilauea’s Upper East Rift Zone began experiencing elevated unrest, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Since then, four pulses of increased seismicity occurred, with the most recent starting Thursday around 4 a.m.

In the past 24 hours, seismographs have detected 524 earthquakes, including 12 magnitude-3 or greater earthquakes. The largest earthquake was a magnitude-3.9, which occurred on Thursday at 4:33 a.m. 

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said magma may be creeping out of the summit storage region, as tiltmeters in the Kilauea summit region continue to record a net deflationary trend. 

“Changes in the character and location of unrest can occur quickly, as can the potential for eruption, but there are no signs of an imminent eruption at this time,” the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said in an update. 

Kilauea last erupted on June 3, 2024, for about eight hours, southwest of the summit region.
