Fumaroles on the crater rim of Fossa volcano, Vulcano
Volcanic unrest has picked up again over the past month the latest monitoring data show, published in the latest monthly bulletin of the volcano observatory in Catania. In particular, a strong increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has been recorded during the past month of August:

The situation at the volcano remains more or less unchanged. According to the
of the observatory (INGV Catania), most parameters of internal volcanic activity are at similar levels as during the past weeks, and continue to show that the volcano is restless.

According to an order issued by the Municipality of Lipari that went into effect on 22 November, residents within three high-risk zones (with an exception for the Lentia village) on Vulcano were not allowed to stay overnight in their homes between the hours of 2300-0600 due to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions in area to the N of La Fossa Crater. Residents in a lower-risk zone were allowed to stay in their homes but not sleep on the first floor. In addition, non-residents were banned from visiting the island for 30 days except for essential workers.

INGV continued to monitor elevated activity at Vulcano during 12-19 October. Scientists collected temperature, water chemistry, and gas-emissions data from four fumarolic vents located inside La Fossa Crater near the rim and from one vent near the beach. According to news articles, elevated levels of carbon dioxide impacted nearby residents in Porto Levante causing a few families to leave their homes on 13 October.

INGV reported that hydrothermal activity at Vulcano increased in July, and notably more in September. Specifically, temperatures of the fumaroles on the crater rim and on the inner flank had increased along with the amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the emissions. The highest temperature of 340 degrees Celsius was along the rim.
