Earthquakes in Honduras — February 2025

9 earthquakes were recorded in Honduras during February 2025, an average of 0.3 per day.

9 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.

The month's largest event in Honduras was a magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Barra Patuca, Honduras on 24 February 2025 at 00:30 UTC. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake radiates roughly 338 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Honduras monthly average of 2 events over the period we cover — an unusually active 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 9 in the magnitude 4 range.

Activity peaked on 09 February, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.9 near Barra Patuca, Honduras on 24 February at 10 km; M4.9 near Savannah Bight, Honduras on 01 February at 10 km; M4.8 near Barra Patuca, Honduras on 12 February at 10 km.

That is 286% above the 2 events Honduras averages per month across the 9 months on record.
