No volcanic ash detected at Sangay volcano due to cloud cover, Ecuador

No volcanic ash was detected at Sangay volcano, Ecuador, at 14:40 UTC on November 7, 2026, according to the Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC). The last possible ash emissions may have been observed earlier in satellite imagery between weather clouds, moving toward the northwest at up to 6.1 km (20 000 feet) altitude.

The advisory noted that current satellite and webcam data were obscured by weather clouds, preventing confirmation of ongoing volcanic ash emissions. Numerical weather models forecast general northwest movement of any remaining ash cloud through the next twelve hours. No Aviation Color Code was stated in the advisory.

Sangay is an active stratovolcano located in central Ecuador, part of the Andes mountain range.
