Kilauea Volcano Erupts Sending Lava 1,300 Feet High in Hawaii

Volcanic activity was notably reported at Etna and Kilauea in late September and early October 2025. Etna experienced explosions and changes in aviation alert levels, with activity fluctuating between Yellow and Orange alerts due to summit crater activity and ash emissions confined to the summit region. Kilauea's eruption episode 34 concluded without further disruptions to air travel, leading to the cancellation of aviation warnings, while weather conditions in Oahu remained stable with gentle to moderate winds influenced by a cold front and a high-pressure system. Localized sea and land breezes were expected, with showers mostly avoiding the islands. These volcanic events were closely monitored by geological and meteorological agencies to ensure public safety and minimize impacts on aviation and local weather.
