The National Geographic Institute has located more than 40 earthquakes in La Palma during the last night, the most intense, of magnitude 4.6 and felt by the population, at 23.57 hours this Sunday in the municipality of Mazo and at a depth of 36 kilometers.
The 'seismic swarm' south of Cumbre Vieja remains operative, with earthquakes at great depths and fluctuating between 10 and 38 kilometers deep.
According to the latest report from the Department of National Security, the lava flows with the highest energy load and lava input in Cumbre Vieja are those in the vicinity of La Laguna which, at the moment and at a lower speed, continue to advance in a west and northwest direction.
The lava flow southwest of the mountain of La Laguna is about 200 meters from the coast and if it reaches the sea, new protection measures would be adopted for the population in coastal areas of Tazacorte, due to possible explosions and emanation of harmful gases.
The meteorological conditions, which will remain at least until this Tuesday, continue to be unfavorable from the point of view of air quality, although the maximum values that would require the adoption of new measures have not yet been exceeded.
On Sunday, due to the ash cloud, the airlines canceled their operations at La Palma airport and a change in the wind is expected, to be assessed in the coming hours, to create a more favorable scenario.
In addition, the mooring maneuver of the tanker has been successfully tested and it was possible to open a water intake that will supply sufficient flow for desalination and thus be able to irrigate the farms of the Aridane Valley.
