Earthquakes in Fiji — September 2026
1 earthquakes were recorded in Fiji during September 2026, an average of 0.0 per day.
1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 581 km.
The month's largest event in Fiji was a magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Levuka, Fiji on 03 September 2026 at 00:09 UTC. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake radiates roughly 120 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Fiji monthly average of 14 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 14 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 1 in the magnitude 4 range.
That is 93% below the 14 events Fiji averages per month across the 22 months on record.
