Heavy rains on the Fuego generated weak to moderate lahars in Las Lajas, Seca and El Jute (Guacalate and Achiguate tributaries).
They consisted of pasty materials, metric blocks, branches and tree trunks and topped with steam columns because of the high temperature of the components. A strong smell of sulfur accompanies them.

The situation does not evolve in Sangay, in continuous eruption, as evidenced by the image Sentinel 2 June 1.
The activity remains, as at the end of May, explosive at the central and effusive crater at the Ñuñurcu dome.
Although it does not pose much danger to humans in this remote region of Ecuador, it impacts the biodiversity of the National Park, which is home to mountain tapirs, giant otters, Andean rock cocks and vultures.
