Earthquakes in Anguilla — April 2026

5 earthquakes were recorded in Anguilla during April 2026, an average of 0.2 per day.

The month's largest event in Anguilla was a magnitude 3.8 earthquake near The Valley, Anguilla on 14 April 2026 at 05:50 UTC. A magnitude 3.8 earthquake radiates roughly 8.4 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 down from the 22 recorded the previous month.

100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% 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 5 in the magnitude 3 range.

Activity peaked on 14 April, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M3.8 near The Valley, Anguilla on 14 April at 36 km; M3.7 near The Valley, Anguilla on 09 April at 28 km; M3.6 near The Valley, Anguilla on 14 April at 67 km.

That is 28% above the 4 events Anguilla averages per month across the 12 months on record.
