After a few days more peaceful and of small plumes of gas and ash, Calbuco had its third significant explosive eruption on 30/04/2015 at 1:08 p.m. local (4:08 p.m. GMT), preceded 10-15 minutes before by a peak of tremor. The eruption was weaker than the previous two, but still accompanied with a gray ash plume loaded 3-5000 meters high, dispersing to the southeast.
Possible pyroclastic flows are causing small lahars in the Rio Blanco south. The pyroclastic material accumulated on the upper parts of the volcano could be remobilized by rain and give rise to secondary lahars.

NASA has provided a compilation of data about sulfur dioxide emitted between 23 and 29 April, translated by a picture showing the drift of the gas plume towards the northeast and east.
