The scientists ask for 'calm and prudence' of the population.
There are currently no signs of an eruption in the short-term, and the changes in these monitoring may wax (get stronger) or wane (get weaker/reverse) multiple times before the next eruptive cycle on Tenerife.

It may imply an eruption in the medium-long term could be more likely than before. However, the scientists do not have the tools or data to make specific statements about the probabilities and timeframe of this.
So, what is the message to the population?

What's caused this change? What does it show?
Scientists think there has been an increase of pressure in the hydrothermal system beneath Tenerife.
This does not seem to be precursory to eruptive activity in the short term, although it requires extra monitoring.

First, some basics. Tenerife is a volcanic island so will have eruptions in the future.
Volcano science is unable to tell us when this will happen, although certain monitoring signals may tell scientists an eruption may be more or less likely in a loose timeframe.
