Mount Semeru Erupts Again This Morning (Monday, November 25, 2024)

Mount Semeru in East Java erupted again on Monday, November 25, 2024, at 7:28 WIB (Western Indonesian Time). In the last week, Mount Semeru has erupted 14 times.

Based on eruption information from the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) via the MAGMA Indonesia application, the height of the ash column was observed at approximately None meters above the peak (None meters above sea level).

The visual eruption was not observed. The eruption was recorded on a seismograph with a maximum amplitude of 22 millimeters and a duration of 112 seconds.

According to the MAGMA Indonesia volcano activity report, Mount Semeru's activity level is at Level II (Alert). Observations of seismic activity on November 25, 2024, from 00:00 to 23:59 WIB, showed 90 eruption quakes with amplitudes of 10-22 millimeters and durations of 63-157 seconds.

Furthermore, there were 2 rockfall quakes with amplitudes of 4-7 mm and durations of 40-43 seconds, and 18 emission quakes with amplitudes of 3-9 millimeters and durations of 24-83 seconds.

PVMBG advises against any activity in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan, up to 8 kilometers from the peak (eruption center). Outside this distance, the public should not engage in activities within 500 meters of the riverbank (river boundary) along Besuk Kobokan due to the potential for pyroclastic flow and lava flows extending up to 13 kilometers from the peak.

During 2024, MAGMA Indonesia recorded 5,397 volcanic eruptions/eruptions throughout Indonesia. Mount Ibu in North Maluku had the most eruptions (2,200 eruptions), while Mount Semeru erupted 1,843 times.
