Earthquakes in the Dominican Republic — November 2025

16 earthquakes were recorded in the Dominican Republic during November 2025, an average of 0.5 per day.

1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 69 km.

The month's largest event in the Dominican Republic was a magnitude 4.2 earthquake near Luperón, Dominican Republic on 16 November 2025 at 19:59 UTC. A magnitude 4.2 earthquake radiates roughly 30 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the the Dominican Republic monthly average of 26 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 24 recorded the previous month.

56% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 44% 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 2 range, 13 in the magnitude 3 range, 1 in the magnitude 4 range.

Activity peaked on 15 November, when 3 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.2 near Luperón, Dominican Republic on 16 November at 12 km; M3.9 near La Romana, Dominican Republic on 27 November at 157 km; M3.8 near Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on 19 November at 12 km.

That is 39% below the 26 events the Dominican Republic averages per month across the 21 months on record.
