In total there are 1,092 hectares of
La Palma
affected by the magma of the
volcano
and the
southern
lava delta
has 48.03 hectares, while the northern one extends 5.05 hectares.
The
deep and intermediate seismicity
remains low compared to previous weeks and the tremor is also low, although with rebounding.
Scientists see it as likely that
felt
earthquakes
will continue to occur
, which can reach intensity V-VI and cause small landslides in areas of slopes.

They detect a 6-centimeter elevation of the ground near the cone of the La Palma volcano related to deep seismicity
The National Geographic Institute (IGN) reports a 6-centimeter elevation of the land at the station closest to the cone of the
volcano
in
Cumbre Vieja
,
La Palma
, between the 24th and 26th.
In the rest of the stations, the slight deflation observed has stabilized and is possibly related to deep seismicity, except in one of them, which continues to register it.
The latest IGN report specifies that the volcanic tremor signal continues at lower average levels, although with fluctuations.
In the last 24 hours, 74 earthquakes have been recorded, of which 15 have been located at depths between 10 and 15 kilometers, and the rest beyond 30 kilometers.

Scientists warn of the risk of gases from the La Palma volcano: the exclusion zone is not a whim
The Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) emphasizes that the exclusion zone around the perimeter of the
volcano
in
Cumbre Vieja
and Las Coladas "is not a whim", and warns of the risk of entering it due to exposure to harmful gases .
In a video recorded in the Llano del Jable area by Manuel Nogales, with texts by Joaquín Quirós, the CSIC tries to explain the danger of not respecting the rules and to justify that the exclusion zone can only be entered with an "authorization explicit prior ".
The images show a portable gas detector - hydrochloric acid (HCL), hydrochloric acid (H2S), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) - emitting visual and acoustic warning signals for high values.
Each of these gases has a baseline value, a daily exposure limit value of up to eight hours and a short exposure limit value of 15 minutes.

The new lava flow from the La Palma volcano destroys the Las Manchas cemetery, the solar panel field and numerous homes
Reopening in the afternoon yesterday of an eruptive focus on the eastern flank of the main cone of the
volcano
of
La Palma
has led to the advancement of the
casting 10
on the cemetery of Las Manchas and the field of solar panels, also destroying many buildings, especially single-family homes, and finally reaching laundry 11.
The Pevolca technical director, Miguel Ángel Morcuende, reported at a press conference that the rest of the
lava
advances on previous flows, forking into two areas: one towards flows 4, 5 and 7, located between the mountains of Todoque and La Laguna. , and the other towards wash 9, which could overflow towards the south and affect other locations, although at the moment it is "quite stopped".
The director of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) in the Canary Islands and spokesperson for the Scientific Committee, María José Blanco, added that this new fissure that opened yesterday afternoon, with several points
of lava emission
, today has no visible activity, if a surveillance will be carried out from the ground and through the use of drones to see if there is a reactivation.

The authorities study the hydrological works that La Palma needs in view of the risk of collapse by the volcano
The Cabildo de La Palma, Civil Engineers, the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain and the National Geographic Institute are studying the hydrological works to be carried out on
La Palma
in light of the warning of heavy rainfall and the risk posed by the
eruption
.
With regard to the coastal areas of Las Manchas, Jedey and La Bombilla, he has admitted that "it is evident that there is risk", because the evacuation of water throughout the Aridane Valley has changed.
Hence, he insisted, the importance of the study that is being carried out to re-channel the waters and correct the channels and the rainwater evacuation areas, in order to minimize the vulnerability of these neighborhoods.
Morcuende has asked the population to avoid troughs and rainwater evacuation areas when heavy rains occur and to avoid areas of slopes that may be unstable to avoid personal injury.

The rain puts La Palma at risk by diverting the waterways from the eruption
The rain puts several coastal areas on
La Palma
at risk
, as the
volcanic
eruption
has diverted the
water courses, so the experts study what hydrological works to carry out in Los Llanos de Aridane to avoid problems in the La Laguna area.
As indicated today by the technical director of the Special Plan for Protection against Volcanic Risk of the Canary Islands (Pevolca), Miguel Ángel Morcuende, the
eruption
in
Cumbre Vieja
has diverted the water
courses
, so it is necessary to improve rain evacuation.
In this regard, it has warned of the serious damage that could be caused by rain and ash, which can occur if heavy or very heavy rainfall occurs that exceeds 15 millimeters an hour or 60 a day.
The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has raised this Friday to orange the warning in the eastern region of La Palma due to heavy to very strong rainfall accompanied by a storm, which is expected to subside during the next morning, and on Saturday it is expected to rain Moderately.
