US EditionHawaii's Kilauea volcano erupts with lava pouring out from multiple vents
Episode 32 began with lava fountains reaching 150 meters and sulfur dioxide emissions around 50,000 tonnes daily, confined within Halema'uma'u crater, officials reported.
- On September 2, 2025, Episode 32 of Kīlauea volcano's Halema'uma'u crater eruption began at 16:35 UTC, with the north vent fountaining at 06:35 HST.
- Observations beginning September 1 showed gas pistoning cycles preceding intermittent overflows at 00:43 HST and a continuous overflow at 05:31 HST that intensified into fountaining at 06:35 HST.
- The eruption produced a convective plume rising between 2.7 km and 6 km above ground level, while volcanic vortices near the fountains carried pumice fragments to about 300 m above the vent.
- The National Weather Service warned that inclined fountains limit ash but may raise SO2 downwind, as northeast winds carry volcanic gases toward southwest communities, causing vog and air-quality impacts.
- Historically, the 1983–2018 eruption reshaped Hawaii Island, and scientists monitoring long-term behavior say Kīlauea could open new lower-elevation vents or activity could subside if magma supply weakens.
