London VAAC: Volcanic ash advisories and graphics

Volcanic Ash Advisories (VAA) and Graphics (VAG) links are provided for each message issued.

The next Volcanic Ash EXERCISE is scheduled Tuesday 19th May 2026

London VAAC will be conducting a live Volcanic Ash product test on Tuesday 19th May. This will mean that Volcanic Ash Advisory products will be transmitted and clearly identified as “Test” or “Exercise”. No operational action should be taken on these. Please also be aware that should a real eruption begin ahead of or during the test, the test will be cancelled.
