Earthquakes in Hungary
No events have been recorded in Hungary in the past 30 days, though the great majority are too small to be felt at the surface. Activity here is almost entirely crustal, which means shaking at the surface is strong relative to the magnitudes involved.
1 earthquakes have been recorded in Hungary in our catalogue, 0 of them in the past 30 days.
The average magnitude is 3.9 and the average focal depth 9 km. Nothing in this record reached magnitude 4, so none of it would have been widely felt.
The strongest earthquake recorded in Hungary in this period was a magnitude 3.9 event near Csongrád, Hungary on 05 July 2025, at a depth of 9 km. A magnitude 3.9 earthquake radiates roughly 11 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
Locations recording the most events include Csongrád (1).
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 3 range.
No event in this record carries a USGS link to NOAA tsunami information.

Frequently asked questions
How many earthquakes have there been in Hungary?
1 earthquakes are recorded in Hungary in our catalogue, including 0 in the past 30 days and 0 of magnitude 4 or above.
What was the biggest earthquake in Hungary?
The largest recorded here was a magnitude 3.9 event near Csongrád, Hungary on 05 July 2025.
Is Hungary at risk of earthquakes?
Earthquake hazard depends on proximity to active faults and plate boundaries rather than on national borders. The record for Hungary shows 0 events of magnitude 4 or above, which is the band at which shaking becomes widely noticeable. Consult your national seismic hazard agency for building-code and preparedness guidance.
