The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) registered eight ash emissions from Volcano Puracé in the department of Cauca during the last 24 hours. [^1]

Meteorologist Max Henríquez stated on 2026-08-01 that a new tropical wave is advancing toward Colombia and will generate increased rainfall in different areas during the coming days. [^2]

Between 2:00 pm on August 31, 2026, and the time of publication, the SGC reported ash emissions reaching a maximum height of 240 meters above the volcano's summit. [^3]

Cristian Santacoloma, coordinator of the Popayán Volcanological and Seismological Observatory, stated that the volcano has shown a continuous increase in activity reflected in seismic activity associated with degassing near the crater surface. [^4]

Volcano Puracé has been under an orange alert since August 1, 2026, due to the risk of an eruption. [^5]

Max Henríquez called for caution regarding the Volcano Puracé, stating that measures should be adopted now rather than waiting for a tragic eruption as has happened in Colombia. [^6]

Max Henríquez identified the approaching system as Tropical Storm Dolly, noting it will lose intensity upon reaching the country due to weakening over land. [^7]

The meteorologist warned that the tropical wave will bring moderate rain and isolated storms to northern and central Colombia, prompting residents to prepare for precipitation. [^8]
