Episode 3#5 - 11.03.25 report: imminent fountaining

At Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, scientists report that Kīlauea’s next eruption phase—Episode 36—is imminent. Frequent lava overflows from the north vent suggest the eruption could begin within a day.

Although the summit inflation in the past 24 hours was modest (0.9 microradians recorded at Uēkahuna), overall inflation since Episode 35 has reached 24.2 microradians. Continuous seismic tremor activity—with brief bursts of stronger signals—was observed, though not showing the usual gas-piston pattern.

In short, Kīlauea is building pressure again, and high lava fountains could erupt very soon, according to USGS monitoring data.
