Earthquakes in Chile — June 2026

40 earthquakes were recorded in Chile during June 2026, an average of 1.3 per day.

40 reached magnitude 4 or above and 4 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 78 km.

The month's largest event in Chile was a magnitude 5.5 earthquake near Vallenar, Chile on 11 June 2026 at 12:22 UTC. A magnitude 5.5 earthquake radiates roughly 2,682 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is close to the Chile monthly average of 33 events over the period we cover, and down from the 56 recorded the previous month.

48% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 52% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.

By band, the catalogue holds 36 in the magnitude 4 range, 4 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 11 June, when 5 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.5 near Vallenar, Chile on 11 June at 10 km; M5.2 near Vallenar, Chile on 11 June at 8 km; M5.1 near Vallenar, Chile on 11 June at 10 km.

That is 19% above the 33 events Chile averages per month across the 21 months on record.
