Episode 43 of lava fountaining in Halemaʻumaʻu began at the summit of Kīlauea began at 9:17 am HST on 3/10/2026 and continues as of this notice. Fallout up to football size pieces and smaller are reported at overlooks in Hawai'i Volcanoes National park, creating hazardous ground conditions. Accordingly, the Volcano Alert Level is being raised from WATCH to WARNING.
The National Weather Service OR Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center reports that the plume from this eruption is reaching 25,000 feet above sea level. Ground-level sensors near the eruptive vents indicate that winds are blowing from the south direction, which suggests that volcanic gas emissions and volcanic material may be distributed to the north direction from Halemaʻumaʻu.
