Kīlauea Volcano Update – Current Alert Level: WATCH
Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Issued: Thursday, July 3, 2025

Kīlauea is currently quiet—but not asleep. The ongoing eruption at Halemaʻumaʻu crater is on pause, and the volcano remains under a WATCH alert level with an ORANGE aviation color code. These statuses indicate elevated unrest and the potential for renewed activity.

Since December 23, 2024, when the alert was downgraded from WARNING/RED, the volcano has continued to show signs of activity beneath the surface. Summit inflation is ongoing, and recent patterns suggest Episode 28 of the eruption could begin sometime between July 7 and 12.

Stay tuned for updates as this dynamic volcano continues to evolve.
