New experimental results are used to constrain the P, T, X(H2O) conditions of the Soufriere Hills magma prior to ascent and eruption. The experiments were performed on a powdered andesite erupted in January, 1996, at an fO2 corresponding to ∼NNO+1 with PH2O and temperatures in the range 50 to 200 MPa and 800 to 940°C. Amphibole is stable at PH2O >115 MPa and temperatures <875°C. Quartz only becomes stable at low temperatures and after high degrees of crystallization (T <840°C, >72 wt% SiO2 in residual melt) at PH2O >115 MPa. Analyses of rhyolitic glass inclusions in quartz and plagioclase from recently erupted samples indicate melt water contents of 4.27±0.54 wt% H2O and CO2 contents <60 ppm. The evolved Soufriere Hills magma would therefore be H2O‐saturated at pressures <130 MPa.
