Mexico ? The Popocatepetl volcano activity in the last 24 hours included 12 exhalations and an explosion that launched during hot fragments, according to the National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred).
In his report at 11:00 am, the agency said the "smoking mountain" had a dozen low-intensity exhalations and sideline.
For example, detailed, short segments were spasmodic tremor and high frequency, which in total amounted to 20 minutes long, and the morning of Tuesday, at 3:44 pm, there was a volcanic microsismo.
In the report period cloudiness prevailed around the crater, so it was impossible to see if the fumes were accompanied by ash emission, including the most important one occurred on Monday at 14:38 hours.
Also Tuesday morning, at 05:20 hours, there was a moderate explosion that threw incandescent fragments to a distance of 1.5 km on the crater, especially in the northwest.
During the early hours of Tuesday we observed a constant column of water vapor and gas emanating from the crater, but later reintroduced cloudy, so no one can see the volcanic cone.
The Cenapred recalled that the light of volcanic alert prevails in yellow Stage 2 and reiterated the recommendation for citizens to remain alert to the information is issued about volcanic activity.
