INSIVUMEH reported that explosions at Fuego during 27-28 February and 3-5 March generated ash plumes that rose as high as 1.1 km and drifted 10-20 km W, SW, and S. Sometimes the explosions were accompanied by weak shock waves. Incandescent material was ejected as high as 300 m above the crater rim, and generated avalanches of material in the Seca (Santa Teresa, W), Cenizas (SSW), Las Lajas (SE), and Honda (E) ravines.

PHIVOLCS reported that during 27 February-5 March activity at Mayon was characterized by lava effusion from the summit crater, lava fountains, steam and ash emissions, advancing lava flows on the flanks, and pyroclastic flows. Weak and intermittent lava fountains generated steam and ash plumes that rose as high as 800 m and drifted in multiple directions; rumbling sounds were audible at least within a 10-km radius. Active lava flows extended 3.3 km, 4.5 km, and 1.9 km in the Mi-isi (S), Bonga (SE), and Basud (E) drainages, respectively. Read all- More about Mayon volcano
