00:00Ash from Krakatau's continuing eruption is forecast to move west over Indonesia, not clear
00:05away. Darwin's Ash Forecasting Center keeps the cloud west of the volcano for the next 18 hours.
00:12The center issued that outlook on October 21. While explosive activity continued at the volcano,
00:18satellite images show the eruption continuing, with ash reaching an estimated 8,000 feet above
00:24sea level. The forecast keeps ash between the surface and that height throughout the same
00:28period. But the height comes from temperatures and satellite images, rather than a direct
00:33measurement. Weather models put the clouds' westward movement at 20 knots, also without direct
00:39measurements. So the outlook tracks where ash could move while volcanic activity continues.
00:44The next volcanic ash advisory is due by 11.25 UTC. For now, westward ash movement remains the
00:53forecast, not a measured certainty. Disclosure. This video contains stock footage and content
