Turrialba Volcano increased its activity once more over the weekend with vapor, gas and ash explosions, volcanologists from the University of Costa Rica (UCR) and the National University (UNA) reported.
Activity at the volcano, located in the province of Cartago, some 70 kilometers (43 miles) northeast of San Jose, remained low during the past three weeks, with mostly low-intensity tremors, the UCR's National Seismological Network (RSN) reported. RSN volcanologist Mauricio Mora indicated in a written report that ash and vapor spewings of almost 500 meters (1,640 feet) above the crater resumed along with an increase in volcanic tremors.
UNA's Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (OVSICORI) reported a strong explosion at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
On Sunday, the RSN reported another explosion at 8:46 a.m.
Turrialba entered an active phase in October 2014 and has since presented numerous explosions of ash and gas.
OVSICORI experts noted that they found rocks up to 2 meters (6.5 ft) in diameter in the surroundings of the crater.
In September 2016, the volcano began a new eruptive cycle that has generated ash columns of up to 4,000 meters (13,000 ft) above the crater.
Access to Turrialba Volcano National Park is currently closed and emergency agencies maintain a security perimeter of two kilometers around the crater.
However, park rangers have reported that groups of tourists have been entering the restricted area to observe the explosions.
Strong gusts of winds are carrying ash into the area northwest of the crater.
Ash reached various communities in the Central Valley, mainly north and east of San Jose.
Posts on the RSN and OVSICORI social media profiles reported ash fall and the smell of sulfur in several communities.
Most of those reports are from residents of Coronado, Ipis, Guadalupe, Tibas, Moravia and Sabanilla. The National Meteorological Institute (IMN) on Monday reported the influence over Costa Rica of a cold front that entered the country on Sunday from the northern Caribbean Sea.
The weather phenomenon is increasing the intensity of winds in the Central Valley and in the province of Guanacaste.
The IMN reported that gusts in the first half of this week will oscillate between 60-80 kilometers (37-50 miles).

Thousands of fish dead in Little River Canada: Climate change responsibe for millions of fish and sea bird deaths along east and west coast of North America

Thousands of American gizzard shad are floating belly up, dead, in Little River Canada, but the grave looking pool of dead fish is just another sign all is not well with American and Canadian water ways and the many species who inhabit these waters.
Apparently millions of these little fish are migrating too far north due to climate change and can't handle fluctuations in water temperature.
Typically, shad do not swim further north than New York, but in recent years, they have been swimming as far as Canada and quickly dying, according to the Essex Region Conservation Authority.
"We've seen it happen quite commonly over the last 15 years, every two years or so depending on the thaw," said Tim Byrne, ERCA's director of watershed management services.
The problem is shad are highly prone to thermal shock, which is a sudden change in water temperature that immediately kills schools of fish, reports CBC News.
Warmer waters are proving to be a menace for marine life and birds alike up and down North America especially along the western coast where a large area of warm water called “the blob” is sitting of the coast of Alaska and Canada killing tens of thousands of fish and sea birds.
In January on the east coast of Canada a marine mystery was confounding residents of southwest Nova Scotia who astonished to witness thousands of dead fish, starfish, crabs, clams, scallops and lobster wash up on the shore.
Residents of Plympton, a small community in Digby County, say they have been finding dead herring on the shore of St. Mary's Bay for more than a month, but recently all marine life started washing up dead.
Dead fish have also been found on the shores of the Annapolis Basin.
"We started finding starfish, crabs, and flounder.
We found ocean perch and then yesterday we started finding scallops on the beach and like I said everything's dead... we'd like to know what's going on," said Karl Cole.
Just last week Thousands of bees washed ashore in an area where last month 81 false killer whales died, in Florida.
The bees where washing up at Lowdermilk Park Beach Naples in Florida.
Just last month 81 false killer whales died after stranding themselves off the South Florida coast.
NOAA initially reported that 95 false killer whales were stranded in South Florida.
Then on Monday afternoon, NOAA Fish Southeast tweeted that 81 whales had died and also said the whales were at a remote location off of Hog Key in the Everglades.
