MANILA, Philippines — After its crater shone bright on the dawn of Wednesday, Mayon Volcano looked dull from Wednesday evening to Thursday dawn as no crater glow was observed in that period.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said that no crater glow was observed as rain clouds covered the apex of the volcano.
