Earthquakes in Mexico — September 2026
1 earthquakes were recorded in Mexico during September 2026, an average of 0.0 per day.
0 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 Mexico was a magnitude 2.2 earthquake near Progreso, B.C., Mexico on 01 September 2026 at 15:25 UTC. A magnitude 2.2 earthquake radiates roughly 33 kg of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Mexico monthly average of 46 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 78 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 2 range.
That is 98% below the 46 events Mexico averages per month across the 22 months on record.
