Earthquakes in Fiji — April 2026

13 earthquakes were recorded in Fiji during April 2026, an average of 0.4 per day.

13 reached magnitude 4 or above and 2 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 562 km.

The month's largest event in Fiji was a magnitude 5.7 earthquake near Fiji region on 01 April 2026 at 06:08 UTC. A magnitude 5.7 earthquake radiates roughly 5,351 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is close to the Fiji monthly average of 15 events over the period we cover, and level with the 13 recorded the previous month.

0% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 100% 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 11 in the magnitude 4 range, 2 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 03 April, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.7 near Fiji region on 01 April at 576 km; M5.2 near Fiji region on 28 April at 409 km; M4.9 near Fiji region on 09 April at 536 km.

That is 10% below the 15 events Fiji averages per month across the 21 months on record.
