The month's largest event in Antigua and Barbuda was a magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Codrington, Antigua and Barbuda on 18 April 2025 at 17:31 UTC. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake radiates roughly 120 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the Antigua and Barbuda monthly average of 1 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet 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 1 in the magnitude 4 range.

That is 25% below the 1 events Antigua and Barbuda averages per month across the 3 months on record.
