Popocatépetl volcano in Mexico continues to produce relatively ash-rich small explosions at a rate of approximately 1 per hour. Glow is seen at night.
The lava flow from Fuego volcano in Guatemala is now 400 m long, and there are few weak explosions.
Santiaguito remains very calm. Part of the southwest lava flow has collapsed in its east end, while some of the flow remains active. No explosions have occurred recently.
A strong SO2 plume can be seen from Ambrym volcano on Vanuatu today. Several small lava lakes remain active there.
Sakurajima volcano has had no less than 5 explosions of moderate size (ash cloud heights up to 10,000 ft / 3 km) during 14 Oct, after a 3 days period with (probably) just one eruption.
A strong SO2 plume is drifting from Nyiragongo and/or neighboring Nymuragira volcanoes in the DR Congo.
