Taal is still on the rollercoaster.

A mix of triple and double digit numbers in the past 24-hour period.

Note the background low-intensity tremor that started on April 8 is still ongoing.

What does this mean? Eruption is imminent?

So is eruption imminent or one cannot really tell? Is Phivolcs going to give any adivsory on this?

Will this impact the raising of the alert level from 2 to 3?

Timeframe? No one knows.

What kind of eruption will it be? Not likely as strong as 2020 if it were to erupt now.

As stated in the webinar above, raising the Alert Status has implications which is why PHIVOLCS and the LGUs are being careful. If this was January 2020, that would be easy. Raising it to 3 now will mean evacuating a lot of people (14km radius) and putting them in evacuation centers. This can result in a COVID super-spreader event. At least they already removed the people on the island which are the most vulnerable anyway.

Which areas will likely be affected? This will depend on where the eruption center will be (Main Crater? a flank crater or even underwater). For base surges, the coastal barangays and towns along the lake shore. If ashfall, winds are now easterlies so I those on the west, southwest and perhaps northwest (Cavite, western Batangas) are better off than those in the east, northeast and southeast (eastern Batangas, Laguna and Quezon.

Sana wag nang magerupt si Taal.
Dami pang hindi nakakabangon from the last eruption. Daming nawalan ng bahay[emoji22]
