INSIVUMEH reported that the eruption at Santa María's Santiaguito lava-dome complex continued during 2-9 August. Lava flows continued to advance in the San Isidro and El Tambor drainages on the W and SW flanks and were as long as 3.7 km by 5 August. Block avalanches from the W part of Caliente cone, and from both the ends and sides of the flows descended the S, SW, and W flanks. Read alljue, 4 ago 2022, 10:00

INSIVUMEH reported that the eruption at Santa María's Santiaguito lava-dome complex continued during 30 March through 5 April. Incandescence from Caliente crater and the lava flows on the W and SW flanks were visible during the night and early morning, accompanied by weak-to-moderate block-and-ash avalanches along its path down the W, SW, and S flanks that reached the base of the dome. The avalanches generated ash plumes that drifted W. Read allvie, 18 mar 2022, 01:34

INSIVUMEH reported that the eruption at Santa María's Santiaguito lava-dome complex continued during 1-8 March. Incandescence from Caliente crater and the lava flows on the W and SW flanks was visible nightly. Avalanches generated by both lava effusion and collapsing material descended the W, SW, and S flanks, often reaching the base of the dome. Read allmar, 1 mar 2022, 00:46

INSIVUMEH reported that activity at Santa María's Santiaguito lava-dome complex had increased on 29 January and remained elevated. Block-and-ash flows on 3 February descended the W and SW flanks and generated ash clouds that rose 600-800 m high and drifted W and NW. Ashfall was reported in San Martin Sacatepéquez (11 km NW), Llanos del Pinal (6 km NNE), Xecaracoj (7 km NNE), Loma Linda (6 km WSW), and El Palmar (12 km SSW), all in the department of Quetzaltenango.

In a special bulletin posted on 29 January, INSIVUMEH reiterated that the eruption at Santa María's Santiaguito lava-dome complex is in a high-extrusion phase. The lava dome in the crater continued to grow and produce avalanches, and two lava flows were active on the W and SW flanks. Seismic data indicated an intensification of descending avalanches starting around 1845 that likely affected the S and SW flanks, though cloudy weather prevented visual confirmation.
