In Kamchatka, the explosive-effusive activity continues at Klyuchevskoy, always in orange aviation code.

Ejections per puff of bombs are found at the top and above the cinder cone in the gully Apakhonchich and a strong degassing with different amounts of ash.

Throughout the week, a thermal anomaly was observed at the volcano, and confirmed by explosions and a lava flow on the upper side from the cone of the ravine Apakhonchich.

Some brief news faded into the background with the earthquake that hit central Italy:

On the island of Montserrat, the heavy rain caused a lahar that slid down the Belham River Valley on August 24; he cut an important access road for residents.

A smell of volcanic gas is collected on the same day because of wind from the south maintening the plume above populated areas.
