The Fuego has a white degassing plume rising to 4,000 m. asl, then dispersing to the west and south. Six to eight low to moderate explosions are reported, accompanied by gray plume rising between 4,500 and 5,000 m asl. Incandescent pulses are observed between 100 and 150 m. above the crater, assorted by avalanches of blocks. Numerous ash falls occur in the south and west areas of the volcano.

In Hawaii, a video shows a very hot and very fluid lava waterfall plunging into the ocean at Kamokuna, after the collapse of the delta and part of the cliff, which cut the tunnel feeding in height.
The encounter between the lava and the waters engenders explosions with projections of spatters, Pele hair and volcanic sand to the cliff above the entrance to the ocean. What remains of the platform has cracks indicating potential instability.
