Volcanic Ash Advisories Issued for Poas, Sangay, Ulawun, Santiaguito

Multiple volcanoes are exhibiting ongoing explosive activity and emitting significant volcanic ash plumes. In Ecuador, the Sangay volcano has produced ash clouds reaching up to 26,000 feet, with plumes moving west and northwest, as confirmed by satellite and ground reports. Costa Rica's Poas volcano is also emitting ash, with plumes visible on webcams and moving southwest, though expected to shift south. Papua New Guinea's Ulawun volcano reported an ash plume up to 12,000 feet, but satellite confirmation was hindered by cloud cover, with plume details based on pilot reports and model guidance. These events are closely monitored by regional Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers, which provide ongoing forecasts and updates to assess potential aviation and environmental impacts.
