Overnight the activity from Tongariro Volcano remained weak. Regional earthquakes have been recorded by GeoNet seismometers around the mountain but seismicity in the local Tongariro area has remained low. The Te Māri vents are not visible at this time from the north due to low cloud, but the view from the Ngauruhoe webcam does not show any significant plume.

No field work is planned for today.

An ashfall prediction plot follows which shows the area where ash is likely to fall within the next six hours, should an eruption occur.
