The eruption is ongoing in Cumbre la Vieja volcano (La Palma Island, Canary Islands), and the lava flow has exceeded the pre-existing front moving south and reaching the coast at Playa de Los Guirres. The amount of the affected area by the lava is more than 988 ha.

7,200 people have been evacuated.

Currently, several emission centres with variable activity are still active and the emission of PM10 suspended particles has improved in the values from "extremely unfavorable" to "unfavorable" in Los Llanos de Aridane, El Paso, Tazacorte, Puntagorda and Tijarafe. In addition, the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) associated with the volcanic plume continues to be high, with values between 9,000 and 13,000 tons per day.

School classes have re-started today in the affected municipalities.

National authorities are providing help for the farmers of La Palma affected by the eruption.

The Copernicus Emergency Mapping Service (EMSR546) was activated on 19 September to support the damage assessment and 98 maps have been produced so far.
