Hi just when I thought I was beginning to get the hang of cryptic crosswords, I seem to be in a complete mess this week. Help would be appreciated.

From Popocatepetl, a vast emission? (4) Is Etna correct?
Wise men entering in East? Fancy! (7) would this be imagine? although my word potentially starts with an E
Aircraft the police scrambled regularly at first(10) I have __ __ L? __ C__R__ __ __ Do not get this please explain.
Also Temperature scale misused in Reading, etc (10)
S__ __ T__ __ __ __ __ E again I'm not getting it. Many thanks all.

1, Lava, hidden in clue.

4, Centigrade, anagram of Reading etc.

Helicopter?

2, I Magi n E.

Hi flopsybunny
IMAGINE looks good - MAGI (wise men) inside IN E(ast)
The next looks like helicopter, but I haven't quite worked out why yet.

I see obvious now re looking at clue. thanks

again obvious thanks rusty

Anagram (scrambled) of "the police" with R(egularly) at first

helicopter is parsed as an anagram of the police + (r)egularly - R
