Earthquakes in Bhutan — September 2025
1 earthquakes were recorded in Bhutan during September 2025, an average of 0.0 per day.
1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.
The month's largest event in Bhutan was a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Samdrup Jongkhar, Bhutan on 08 September 2025 at 05:45 UTC. A magnitude 4.4 earthquake radiates roughly 60 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Bhutan monthly average of 1 events over the period we cover.
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 close to the 1 events Bhutan averages per month across the 2 months on record.
