Earthquakes in Anguilla — March 2026

22 earthquakes were recorded in Anguilla during March 2026, an average of 0.7 per day.

9 reached magnitude 4 or above and 3 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 29 km.

The month's largest event in Anguilla was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake near The Valley, Anguilla on 19 March 2026 at 22:46 UTC. A magnitude 5.2 earthquake radiates roughly 951 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Anguilla monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 1 recorded the previous month.

95% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 5% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.

By band, the catalogue holds 13 in the magnitude 3 range, 6 in the magnitude 4 range, 3 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 31 March, when 15 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.2 near The Valley, Anguilla on 19 March at 10 km; M5.0 near The Valley, Anguilla on 31 March at 10 km; M5.0 near The Valley, Anguilla on 31 March at 15 km.

That is 462% above the 4 events Anguilla averages per month across the 12 months on record.

This month also holds the strongest earthquake recorded in Anguilla in our entire catalogue.
