The news from Indonesia is that Mount Semeru on Java erupted early today. The volcano apparently erupted shortly after midnight, ’spewing smoke and ash high into the sky and coating a nearby town in black dust’. Recent heavy rains and the direction of the wind restricted the impact of ashfall. No evacuation has been ordered but volcanologists are monitoring the volcano closely ‘for signs of lethal heat clouds’ - the term often used in Indonesia for pyroclastic flows.
Semeru is the highest volcano in Java (3676m) and one of the most active: the Global Volcanism Program (http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=0603-30=) observes that ‘Semeru has been in almost continuous eruption since 1967′.
