According to the daily report published by Mexico's National Center for Disaster Prevention (CENAPRED), 3 eruptions occurred in the Popocatepetl Volcano in the last 24 hours, and 27 gas and ash outflows were recorded.
While the eruptions in the volcano caused ash precipitation in many settlements, the ashes accumulated on the streets in the city of Amecameca, located about 20 kilometers northeast of the volcano, were cleaned with construction equipment. While it was stated that the ashes coming out of the crater of the volcano spread towards the northwest direction, it was noted that the settlements in this region may also experience ash rain.
On the other hand, with the 3 eruptions experienced today at Popocatepetl Volcano, which has seen an increase in activity for about two years, the number of eruptions recorded since the beginning of the year has increased to 634. A total of 113 eruptions were recorded at the volcano throughout 2022.
The windows of some houses and workplaces were broken by the violence of the explosions that could be heard for kilometers in April and May at Popocatepetl Volcano. In addition, serious ash precipitation was experienced in the surrounding settlements due to the eruptions, schools were suspended in many cities in the region and disruptions occurred in air transportation.
