Per MAGMA Indonesia volcanic activity reports, Mount Semeru activity status is set at Level III (Standby). Seismic monitoring on 24 September 2026 between 12.00-18.00 WIB recorded 33 eruption earthquakes with 15-22 mm amplitude and 58-134 second duration.
Additionally, 1 collapse earthquake (15 mm amplitude, 75 second duration) and 3 emission earthquakes (4-6 mm amplitude, 55-56 second duration) were detected.
PVMBG advises against all activities in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan within 13 km of the summit. Outside this radius, citizens must avoid activity within 500 m of river banks along Besuk Kobokan, as this area is at risk of pyroclastic surge expansion and lahar flows reaching up to 17 km from the summit.
During 2026, MAGMA Indonesia has recorded 4,770 volcanic eruptions across Indonesia. East Java's Mount Semeru recorded the highest activity with 1,846 eruptions.
