How long can this go on.

So the volcano may keep going for days, weeks, months or years.
The issue of course is the ash being blown over northern Europe.

Are these the normal winds though, direction and speed, at the appropriate altitude? Will a change in wind direction alleviate the problem?

Are we/Europe getting the ash just because of the large stationary high-pressure zone in the area?
