There were thirteen (13) earthquakes located during the past twenty-four hours. The events were located mainly beneath the Windy Hill area, the Long Ground area and the Soufriere Hills Volcano with focal depths ranging from 0-5km. The events were mainly volcano-tectonic. One earthquake at 09:33 of magnitude 2.5 was felt slightly at the Observatory.

Four eruption signals were recorded by the seismograph network today. The eruptions occurred at 23:14, 23:21, 23:47 and 04:47. No reports of ash fall were received by the Observatory. Several episodes of low-amplitude, broadband tremor were also recorded.

EDM measurements were made at the Tar River site today. The result indicates a continuation of the general trend of shortening observed during the past several weeks.

Visual inspection of English's Crater was not possible at all due to low cloud cover.
