Taal Volcano in Batangas shows sustained volcanic unrest as Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reports a sharp rise in seismic activity. After relatively lower activity in the preceding days, Phivolcs logs 19 volcanic earthquakes and five volcanic tremor episodes on July 1, and reports that activity increases following earlier eruptive events. Separate Phivolcs bulletins describe short-lived phreatomagmatic eruptions in late June, including a first eruption lasting about four minutes on June 30 and a second phreatomagmatic eruption later the same day that lasts roughly four and a half minutes, producing dark gray ash jets and steam-rich plumes. In the following monitoring periods, Phivolcs reports 61 volcanic earthquakes and 60 volcanic tremors over a 24-hour span on July 4, then 75 tremor episodes with no volcanic earthquakes on July 5. Activity continues to climb on July 6, with Phivolcs recording 120 volcanic earthquakes and 113 episodes of volcanic tremor, while stating the volcano remains at Alert Level 1, meaning low-level unrest. Phivolcs notes that Alert Level 1 does not indicate the situation has returned to normal and hazardous activity risks are not necessarily gone.
