Earthquakes in Colombia — June 2025

9 earthquakes were recorded in Colombia during June 2025, an average of 0.3 per day.

9 reached magnitude 4 or above and 2 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 12 km.

The month's largest event in Colombia was a magnitude 6.3 earthquake near Paratebueno, Colombia on 08 June 2025 at 13:08 UTC. A magnitude 6.3 earthquake radiates roughly 42,502 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Colombia monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 3 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 7 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range, 1 in the magnitude 6 range.

Activity peaked on 08 June, when 5 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M6.3 near Paratebueno, Colombia on 08 June at 9 km; M5.1 near Mountain, Colombia on 07 June at 10 km; M4.9 near Medina, Colombia on 08 June at 10 km.

That is 101% above the 4 events Colombia averages per month across the 21 months on record.
