Per MAGMA Indonesia volcanic activity reports, Mount Semeru remains at Activity Level III (Alert). Seismic monitoring on 13 July 2026 00:00-06:00 WIB recorded 18 eruption earthquakes (12-22 mm amplitude, 95-132 second duration).

Additionally, 4 rockfall earthquakes (2-3 mm amplitude, 45-73 second duration) and 2 harmonic tremors (10-13 mm amplitude, 77-221 second duration) were detected.

PVMBG advises against all activity in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan within 13 km of the summit. Outside this zone, public activity is prohibited within 500 metres of river banks along Besuk Kobokan, as pyroclastic flows and lahars may reach up to 17 km from the crater.

For the year 2026, MAGMA Indonesia has logged 3145 volcanic eruptions across Indonesia. East Java's Mount Semeru recorded the highest activity with 1390 eruptions.
