Earthquakes in Guatemala — April 2025
1 earthquakes were recorded in Guatemala during April 2025, 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 17 km.
The month's largest event in Guatemala was a magnitude 4.3 earthquake near Champerico, Guatemala on 19 April 2025 at 08:43 UTC. A magnitude 4.3 earthquake radiates roughly 43 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Guatemala monthly average of 5 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 4 recorded the previous month.
100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
By band, the catalogue holds 1 in the magnitude 4 range.
That is 80% below the 5 events Guatemala averages per month across the 21 months on record.
