Near to the port the temperature at 2 meters depth was 163 degrees Centigrade while the temperature at only 20 centimetres depth was 91 degrees.
A record number of GPS stations were deployed last night with eight instruments recording simultaneously. GPS data show that the shortening of the line between Harris and Hermitage, which has been going on since last year, decreased greatly in recent weeks.

Residents are reminded that the volcano remains in a potentially active state, and that they should continue listening to Radio Montserrat in case there are sudden changes.
