During 27 June-2 July, views of Kilauea's Pu'u 'O'o crater were obscured by steam. Active lava was not visible anywhere on the flow field or at the site of the 18-19 June eruption. Fuming from the W base of Kane Nui o Hamo and diffuse patches of rain-induced steaming were visible on the Mauna Ulu web camera.
INSIVUMEH reported that on 27 June, a new 100-m-long lava flow from Fuego was observed that somewhat paralleled the previous flow from March/April 2007. The older lava flow on the S flank continued to advance and produce incandescent blocks that rolled W into the Taniluyá River valley. On 29 June, pyroclastic explosions propelled material about 75 m above the crater.
IG reported that on 27 June, ash plumes from Tungurahua rose to an altitude of 7.5 km (24,600 ft) a.s.l. and drifted NW, W, and SW. Ashfall was reported from areas to the SW.
Data from deformation-monitoring instruments indicated that during 27 June-3 July lava-dome growth at Mount St. Helens continued. Seismicity persisted at low levels, punctuated by M 1.5-2.5, and occasionally larger, earthquakes. In some instances, clouds inhibited visual observations.
MVO reported that during 22-29 June the lava dome at Soufrière Hills changed very little based on visual observations, and seismic activity was very low. Low-level rockfall and pyroclastic flow activity continued, however, and predominantly affected the Tar River Valley to the E. The volume of the dome was an estimated 208 million cubic meters.
KVERT reported that seismic activity at Shiveluch continued above background levels during 22-29 June. Based on seismic interpretation, ash plumes rose to an altitude of 6.5 km (21,300 ft) a.s.l. during the reporting period.
RVO reported that on 30 June and 2 July, explosions from Rabaul caldera's Tavurvur cone produced shockwaves that rattled windows of houses in Rabaul Town and surrounding areas. Ash plumes rose to altitudes of 2.7-3.7 km (8,900-12,100 ft) a.s.l. and drifted N and NW.
Based on information from the Mexico City MWO and a web camera operated by CENEPRED, the Washington VAAC reported that an ash plume from Popocatépetl rose to an altitude of 6.4 km (21,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted SSW on 28 June.

During 22-29 June, seismic activity at Karymsky was above background levels and possibly indicated ash plumes to an altitude of 4.7 km (15,400 ft) a.s.l. all days. A steam-and-gas plume was visible on satellite imagery on 27 June.

There is no lava on the surface of Kilauea volcano. Since the last, brief eruptive episode due to an intrusion in the upper eastern rift zone on 18/19 June, Pu'u O'o, the vent of the recent long-lasting eruption, is slowly deflating while HVO records continuing inflation at the summit caldera.
Wether this is the end of the longest known historic eruption on Hawaii - starting in 1983 and virtually ongoing uninteruptedly until 19 June 2006, is still unclear or a matter of definition. The near to medium future (weeks to months, probably) will also tell whether the present inflation of the summit caldera heralds some new summit activity, similar as in the early 1980s.

The IG reported that during 20-25 June mudflows and lahars traveled on the S, W, NW, and N flanks of Tungurahua and interrupted traffic. A steam plume with little ash content was observed on 21 June. On 22 June, ashfall was reported SW in Choglontus and roaring noises were heard.

KVERT reported that during 15-22 June, seismic activity at Kliuchevskoi continued above background levels and a thermal anomaly in the crater was detected on satellite imagery. Based on video and visual observations, ash plumes rose to an altitude of 5 km (16,400 ft) a.s.l. and drifted NE on 15 June.

During 20-26 June, incandescence was not visible from the vents in Kilauea's Pu'u 'O'o crater. A tiltmeter at Pu'u 'O'o continued to show steady tilting inward toward the crater, and the crater floor was estimated to have subsided 100 m between 17 and 21 June.

Based on visual observations, CVGHM reported that during 18-25 June thick brown ash plumes from Talang's Main Crater rose to an altitude of 3.1 km (10,200 ft) a.s.l. Diffuse white ash plumes rose to an altitude of about 3 km (10,000 ft) a.s.l. from the South Crater.
