Earthquakes in Fiji — July 2026

19 earthquakes were recorded in Fiji during July 2026, an average of 0.6 per day.

19 reached magnitude 4 or above and 3 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 580 km.

The month's largest event in Fiji was a magnitude 5.8 earthquake near Levuka, Fiji on 05 July 2026 at 14:22 UTC. A magnitude 5.8 earthquake radiates roughly 7,558 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 16 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 16 in the magnitude 4 range, 3 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 04 July, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.8 near Levuka, Fiji on 05 July at 686 km; M5.6 near Suva, Fiji on 01 July at 537 km; M5.5 near Fiji region on 14 July at 574 km.

That is 31% above the 15 events Fiji averages per month across the 21 months on record.
