How to interpret Etna's status today
Volcanic tremor measures continuous ground vibration. Rapid increases or sustained values may indicate greater internal activity.
NASA FIRMS hotspots indicate satellite thermal anomalies. They help identify lava flows or surface heat, with possible delays.
Live images and local seismicity help put the signal in context but do not replace official bulletins and statements.
What to know
Does high volcanic tremor mean Etna is erupting?
Not necessarily. High tremor is an important signal but must be assessed with visual, thermal and official observations.
Is it safe to visit Catania during an Etna eruption?
Conditions depend on the event, wind and official restrictions. Follow local authorities for safety advice.
Can an Etna eruption cancel flights?
Ash can cause delays, diversions or closures, but each operational decision is made by aviation authorities, the airport and airlines.
