Earthquakes in Fiji — July 2025

24 earthquakes were recorded in Fiji during July 2025, an average of 0.8 per day.

24 reached magnitude 4 or above and 3 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 530 km.

The month's largest event in Fiji was a magnitude 5.6 earthquake near Levuka, Fiji on 02 July 2025 at 07:15 UTC. A magnitude 5.6 earthquake radiates roughly 3,788 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Fiji monthly average of 15 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 12 recorded the previous month.

4% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 96% deep-focus (over 300 km). That proportion of deep-focus events is the signature of a subduction zone: only a cold slab descending into the mantle stays brittle enough to rupture at those depths.

By band, the catalogue holds 21 in the magnitude 4 range, 3 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 10 July, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.6 near Levuka, Fiji on 02 July at 515 km; M5.3 near Lautoka, Fiji on 03 July at 10 km; M5.0 near Fiji region on 17 July at 625 km.

That is 65% above the 15 events Fiji averages per month across the 21 months on record.
