On 4 April the Tonga Geological Services reported that thermal anomalies at Home Reef were identified in satellite images during the previous two weeks; the anomalies were at mostly low levels, though they were occasionally characterized as moderate. A decrease in activity was detected in infrasound data. A lava dome just SW of the central part of the island was visible in a 26 March satellite image; this 80 m W-E, 100 m N-S feature had not changed in size since the previous view.

The Tonga Geological Services reported ongoing and consistent activity at Home Reef during 11-21 March. A lava dome just SW of the central part of the island was visible in an 11 March satellite image; this 80 m W-E, 100 m N-S feature had not changed in size since the previous view. Thermal anomalies were ongoing at least through 19 March and were at mostly low levels, though occasionally they were characterized as moderate.

The Tonga Geological Services reported that thermal activity at Home Reef had increased since 21 February with the last thermal anomaly detected on 4 March. Weather conditions sometimes prevented satellite observations during 21 February-7 March. Infrasound data was evidence of continuing minor eruptive activity.
