He said this condition was triggered by heavy rain which caused volcanic material on the Semeru ridge to move again following the river flow.
Bad weather also makes the visual of Mount Semeru completely covered.According to observer reports, rain started falling at 10.00 WIB so the peak area could not be monitored directly.
“Residents who are active around river basins are asked to increase their vigilance. The potential for lava floods or hot clouds could occur at any time,” warned Heruningtyas.
In seismic monitoring, vibrations were detected with a maximum amplitude of up to 35 mm, indicating internal activity that needs to be watched out for.
