The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has raised the alert status of Taal volcano from Alert Level 0 to Alert Level 1 (abnormal) on March 28, 2019. The last eruption of this volcano took place in 1977. Powerful pyroclastic flows and surges from historical eruptions have caused many fatalities.
Sheveluch volcano, Kamchatka, Russia erupted at 02:48 UTC on April 10, 2019, producing a column of ash up to 10 km (33 000 feet) above sea level.
The Aviation Color Code remains Orange.
"An eruptive activity of the volcano continues," KVERT said 03:17 UTC. "According to video data, explosions sent ash up to 7.5 - 8 km (24 600 - 26 200 feet) a.s.l., southeast of from the volcano."

Mount Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture, southwestern Japan, has erupted.
The Meteorological Agency says the volcano erupted at 6:28 p.m. on Tuesday. Smoke mixed with volcanic ash rose about 200 meters from the mountain's crater.
The agency raised the alert level for Mount Aso to two on a scale of one to five on Sunday, after detecting active volcanic tremors and an increase in volcanic gas emissions.
People within roughly one kilometer of the crater are being urged to stay alert for huge airborne volcanic rocks and pyroclastic flows.
Mount Aso last erupted in October 2016.
Not far from nuclear power plants in Japan, one of the largest volcanoes erupted in the world. The eruption of Aso volcano occurred in the south-west of Japan, 130 kilometers from the nuclear power plant "Ikata".
I wonder if this volcanic activity is also connected with vitamin D deficiency in many people, because UVB light is very sensitive to aerosols.
March 13, 2019: Long lines. Narrow seats. Baggage fees. You recognize this list. It’s the downside of flying on modern commercial airlines. And now we have a new item to add: cosmic ray neutrons.
Spaceweather.com and Earth to Sky Calculus have just completed a 5-continent survey of neutron radiation at aviation altitudes. From December 2018 through February 2019, Hervey Allen of the University of Oregon’s Network Startup Resource Center carried Earth to Sky radiation sensors–including neutron bubble chambers–onboard commercial flights from North America to Europe, Africa, South America and Asia.
Hervey logged 83 hours in the air as he traveled 41,500 miles above 30,000 feet. For reference, that’s almost twice the circumference of the Earth. The entire time, he gathered data on X-rays, gamma-rays and neutrons in an energy range (10 keV to 20 MeV) similar to that of medical radiology devices and “killer electrons” from the Van Allen Radiation Belts.
The results were eye-opening: (Contained)
A new volcano eruption has been observed on Mount Aso in Japan's Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan Meteorological Agency said on Friday.
This is the second eruption on Mount Aso this week. Local authorities have urged residents to stay away from the volcano.
No disruption to air service have been reported.
At 1,592 meters, Mount Aso is one of the largest volcanoes in the world.

Weekly report:
60 volanotectonic earthquakes. (13 weeks prior).
25 LP's earthquakes (exhalations)
43 min of tremor.
Although increased seismicity does not generate visible activity in the crater, these signs have been observed prior to explosions and/or growth of a new dome.

Yeah, your intuition, and the data, make it a good possibility.Last eruption of Colima´s volcano (Mexico) aka Volcán de Fuego-Fire Volcano, was in 2017. Would not doubt, if erupts again in further months.
A small collapse of the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater at 6:14 a.m. HST today (May 1, 2019) was the last 'hurrah' for a GPS instrument located on the crater's edge (red circle).
This station, designated PUOC, served faithfully throughout Kīlauea's 2018 eruption and was an important source of information on the shallow magma system of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. The station's last reported position showed it moving rapidly to the southeast, consistent with motion into the crater (inset shows data transmissions from April 11 through this morning). Monitoring of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō is currently being accomplished by additional GPS and tilt stations farther from the edge of the crater.
The larger equipment installation near the solar panels was not affected by this morning's collapse and continues to function. However, contingency plans are in place in case collapses of the crater edge continue. USGS photo by Ingrid Johanson on March 18, 2019, annotated on May 1, 2019.
(11) Volcanic Activity Summary: | A moderate explosive activity of the volcano continues. Visual data from Severo-Kurilsk showed an explosion sent ash up to 3.0 km a.s.l., an ash cloud is drifting to the southeast of the volcano. A moderate eruptive activity of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 19,700 ft (6 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft and airport of Severo-Kurilsk. |
