During overflights conducted during 23-24 May scientists from the Colima University observed that a new crack or cavity observed during the previous week had widened and now become a hole due to the combination of excavation due to explosions and probable subsidence.
The maximum temperature recorded with a portable thermal camera was 252 degrees Celsius, an increase of 80 degrees since recorded on 1 May.
