Earthquakes in Colombia — September 2025
3 earthquakes were recorded in Colombia during September 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.

The month's largest event in Colombia was a magnitude 5.4 earthquake near Uramita, Colombia on 14 September 2025 at 07:12 UTC. A magnitude 5.4 earthquake radiates roughly 1,898 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Colombia monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 4 recorded the previous month.
67% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 33% 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 2 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.4 near Uramita, Colombia on 14 September at 50 km; M4.9 near Abriaquí, Colombia on 21 September at 10 km; M4.5 near Cepitá, Colombia on 26 September at 164 km.
That is 30% below the 4 events Colombia averages per month across the 21 months on record.
