The Popocatépetl volcano emitted a thick plume of ash in Mexico on Tuesday, February 27, which reached a height of 2,000 meters. Federal authorities on Tuesday maintained the alert two notches below the maximum danger level, and warned of ash falls in the three central states of the country that surround the crest of the volcano.
The last intense eruptive phase dates back to May 2023. Certain sectors of the capital could also be affected, the authorities said on Tuesday.
