The Met Services said the volcanic eruption continues, and its activities slightly diminished in the past 6 hours.
“However, the ash plume has become widespread over Tonga and eastern Fiji but could potentially reach the south of Samoa in the upper levels of the atmosphere.”
“Based on the latest report from VAAC Wellington there is a chance that some ash may linger within our area from this time onwards.”
Hence risk for Samoa is elevated from LOW to MODERATE.
