The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) recorded a rain lava flood vibration from Mount Lewotobi Laki in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) on Thursday, March 13.

"The flood or rain lava was recorded once with an amplitude of 47.3 mm, a duration of 1.083 seconds," said Mount Lewotobi Male-Laki Monitoring Post Officer Emanuel Rofinus Bere in his report received in Labuan Bajo, Thursday, March 13, which was confiscated by Antara.

He conveyed this in the Report on the Activities of Mount Lewotobi Men's Volcano for the observation period Thursday, March 13, from 06.00 WITA to 12.00 WITA.

In the visual update of Mount Lewotobi Male which was reported at 11.50 WITA there was rain at the peak and surrounding areas and the PPGA Mount Lewotobi Male instrument had recorded a flood tremor.

The public is advised to always be aware of the potential for lava floods from the summit, especially in rivers that originate at the top of Mount Lewotobi Laki.

Meanwhile, in reports of weather volcanic activity around Mount Lewotobi, Laki was reported to be cloudy and rainy. The wind blows weakly to the north and northeastern.

"The air temperature is 24.3 degrees Celsius to 27 degrees Celsius and the rainfall is 25 mm per the last six hours," he said.

Previously, the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) asked the community around Mount Lewotobi Laki in East Flores Regency to be aware of the potential for lava flooding, because the area still has the potential for rain.

"For the Flotim area today and in the next few days there is the potential for rain," said Head of BMKG Class II Meteorological Station El Tari Kupang Sti Nenotek who was contacted from Labuan Bajo.

Sti said the public was also advised to remain vigilant by staying away from riverbanks and avoiding activities around slopes prone to landslides.

"And continue to monitor the development of weather information from the BMKG and comply with directions or guidelines from local governments," he said.
