Episode 31 of the ongoing Kīlauea summit eruption just started today, August 22, at 2:04 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Spattering within the north vent was visible overnight, along with several sluggish overflows. The summit region switched from inflationary deformation to deflation with the start of the fountaining. So far, eruptive activity has been localized to the north vent only during this episode. During episode 30, both the north and south vents erupted, as well as a new fissure in the south caldera wall.
