Based on Significant Meteorological Information (SIGMET) advisories and observations of satellite imagery, the Buenos Aires VAAC reported that ash plumes from Ubinas rose to altitudes of 5.5-7.6 km (18,000-25,000 ft) a.s.l. during 1 and 3-6 November. Plumes drifted NE and SE.
According to Frederick Belton's Ol Doinyo Lengai website, the owner of a camp on the S shore of Lake Natron reported that ash eruptions continued "daily" and some "lava eruptions" were observed at night. Based on pilot observations, the Toulouse VAAC reported an eruption on 6 November.
According to a news article, "red-hot lava flares" from Anak Krakatau rose 500-700 m above the S crater on 6 November. Multiple ash clouds were also observed.
CVGHM reported that a series of earthquakes from Kelut during 24-31 October were dominated by shallow events and tremor. Seismicity intensified during 2-3 November, and then decreased on 4 November. On 2 November the temperature of the crater lake was 50 degrees Celsius, the highest temperature recorded.
IG reported that although visual observations were limited due to cloud cover, ash-and-steam and ash plumes from Tungurahua rose to altitudes of 5.5-8 km (18,000-26,200 ft) a.s.l. during 31 October-6 November. Plumes drifted NNE, N, NW, W, and SW, and occasionally followed explosions.
Data from deformation-monitoring instruments indicated that during 31 October-6 November lava-dome growth at Mount St. Helens continued. Seismicity persisted at low levels, punctuated by M 1.5-2.5, and occasionally larger, earthquakes. Clouds occasionally inhibited visual observations.
MVO reported that during 31 October-5 November the lava dome at Soufrière Hills changed very little, based on limited visual observations due to cloud cover. Seismic activity was very low and low-level rockfall and pyroclastic flow activity continued. The Alert Level remained elevated at 4 (on a scale of 0-5).
KVERT reported that seismic activity at Shiveluch was above background levels during 26 October-2 November. Based on seismic interpretation, ash plumes rose to an altitude of 6.8 km (22,300 ft) a.s.l. and small hot avalanches occurred.

RVO reported that white plumes occasionally accompanied by ash plumes from Rabaul caldera's Tavurvur cone rose to altitudes of 1.7-2.7 km (5,600-8,900 ft) a.s.l. during 2-5 November. Plumes drifted N, NW, and W.

HVO reported that during 31 October-6 November fissure segment D from Kilauea's 21 July fissure eruption continued to feed an advancing lava flow that frequently overflowed its channel edges. Small breakouts from a lava tube continued to slowly burn a kipuka about 1.2 km N of the main channel's end. An E-traveling lava tube supplied flows that burned into a small kipuka and forested areas.

Based on visual observations during clear weather, INGEOMINAS reported that steam-and-ash plumes from Galeras rose to a maximum altitude of 5.7 km (18,700 ft) a.s.l. during 29 October-4 November. The Alert Level remained at 3 (changes in the behavior of volcanic activity have been noted) on a scale of 4-1.
