GARUT - The number of tremors measured by sensitive instruments around the Moun Papandayan volcano in the district of Garut in West Java province is showing an increase. The alert status of the volcano was raised to a level three out of four after six tremors were recorded in only several hours time yesterday.
"The number of tremors underneath the Mount Papandayan volcano is higher than normal," said Momon, an employee at the observation post for the volcano in Cisurupan. The number of tremors is currently being counted twice a day. In August alone there were 48 tremors until this morning, where this was only 50 during the entire month of July.
Since the last eruption of Mount Papandayan on November 11, 2002, it's the first time that the alert status of the volcano has been hiked to the third level. According to Momon there is no significant increase in temperatures of the crater lake yet. "All other observations and measurements show a generally normal situation," explained Momon.
