Barbados Meteorological Services said this evening that the La Soufriere Volcano continued to remain highly active. However, there had been a shift in the upper-level winds which had redirected most of the volcanic plume further north of Barbados.

The next update will be at noon on April 10 or sooner if conditions warrant.

The University of the West Indies Seismic Rsearch Centre recorded three explosive eruptions today, the first of which was at 8:41 a.m. followed by another around 2:45 p.m. and the third at 6:35 p.m. (PR/KG)
