Mexico's Popocatepetl Volcano, also known as Don Goyo, has roared back to life, as seen in video shot on Thursday 9 November.

The National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred) and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) said there had been 146 exhalations in just one day.

As one of the most active volcanoes in Latin America, Popocatepetl is currently in Yellow Phase 2, according to the Cenapred and UNAM' traffic-light style system for volcano alerts.

Authorities are urging the public to avoid the area, especially the volcano's crater, particularly due to the danger posed by falling rocks, as well as the risk of mud and debris flows in nearby ravines.

The Popocatepetl volcano, known as Don Goyo, has exhibited heightened activity with 146 exhalations reported in the past 24 hours, according to monitoring conducted by the National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred) and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

As one of the most active volcanoes in Latin America, Popocatepetl is currently in yellow phase 2 according to the Cenapred and UNAM Volcanic Alert Traffic Light system.

Authorities are urging the public to avoid approaching the volcano, especially its crater, due to the potential danger posed by falling ballistic fragments. Additionally, in the event of heavy rains in the area, it is important to stay away from the bottom of ravines to avoid the risk of mudflows and debris.

Monitoring efforts by Cenapred and UNAM will continue to closely track the volcano's activity to ensure the safety of local communities.
