Observations of Tungurahua's summit area during 30 June-6 July were mostly not possible due to inclement weather. On 2 July, gas plumes were seen drifting WSW during breaks in the cloud cover. Ashfall was reported in areas 8-9 km W and SW, and as far away as 40 km WSW in San Juan. Read all- More about Tungurahua volcano

On 28 June, MVO reported that for the first time since February 2010 ash venting from the Soufrière Hills lava dome was observed and caused light ashfall in several areas across Montserrat. Ash venting began on 25 June and was coincident with small swarms of volcano-tectonic earthquakes on 23 and 25 June, although with no other discernable associated seismicity. Observations initially from MVO staff and during a later overflight indicated that the ash venting occurred from inside the collapse scar (near the N rim of English's crater) and from the S part of the summit crater that had formed on 11 February.

The lava dome on Montserrat is again growing. The latest USGS/GVP activity report summarizes the recent activity: "MVO reported that pyroclastic flows from the Soufrière Hills lava dome occurred during 11-18 June. One of the largest pyroclastic flows traveled W down Gages Valley;others originated from within the collapse scar. A thermal camera showed several hot areas on the lava dome,likely exposed from rockfall and pyroclastic flow activity. On 28 June a small lahar descended the Belham Valley,to the NW. The Hazard Level remained at 3."- More about Soufriere Hills volcano
