In a Facebook update, PHIVOLCS noted that Taal emitted thick plumes reaching 2,400 meters high, drifting northwest. This activity was recorded by the Agoncillo Observation Station's visual monitor from 1:30 AM to 7:55 AM today.
PHIVOLCS stated, "Taal has been releasing substantial volcanic gas volumes since March 2021, with 4,641 tonnes/day of sulfur dioxide measured on June 20, 2024."
Earlier this month, on June 8, PHIVOLCS documented a phreatic eruption lasting two minutes, accompanied by five volcanic tremors ranging from three to 608 minutes.
The recent eruption occurred two days after increased degassing activity was noted by state volcanologists. Taal Volcano remains at Alert Level 1, indicating low-level unrest.
PHIVOLCS has warned that sudden explosions, volcanic earthquakes, minor ashfall, and dangerous accumulations of volcanic gas pose significant health and safety risks. Entry to Taal Volcano Island, especially the main crater and Daang Kastila fissures, is strictly prohibited, as the island is a designated permanent danger zone.
Aircraft flying near the volcano are at risk of encountering airborne ash and ballistic fragments, PHIVOLCS cautioned.
