I think that Katla is on the way to an eruption!
I am increasingly confident.

The shallow chamber already received several deep intrusions in previous months. Quakes are now above the top of the very shallow magma chamber, located around 2km below sea level. Magma is probably around 0.5km from the crustal surface.

I think the next thing to wait for is a very rapid sequence of events. A stronger earthquake swarm starts, and sudden high tremor follows. This is just a couple of hours until a flood occurs and a few more hours until a dark ash cloud appears above the ice cap, but by then the tremor has been already ongoing since a few hours. Perhaps anywhere 2-5 hours. Time is short however to warn tourists and locals.

In my opinion this build-up will not last longer than 4 weeks. If no eruption happens in October, then activity will die out.

I think authorities in Iceland already expected more an eruption rather than not. This is reflected in their preparatory meetings and behavior.
