Earthquakes in Myanmar — July 2025

10 earthquakes were recorded in Myanmar during July 2025, an average of 0.3 per day.

10 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 22 km.

The month's largest event in Myanmar was a magnitude 5.4 earthquake near Shwebo, Myanmar on 18 July 2025 at 09:30 UTC. A magnitude 5.4 earthquake radiates roughly 1,898 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Myanmar monthly average of 5 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 4 recorded the previous month.

90% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 10% 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, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 14 July, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.4 near Shwebo, Myanmar on 18 July at 10 km; M4.7 near Mandalay, Myanmar on 15 July at 32 km; M4.7 near Mawlaik, Myanmar on 17 July at 93 km.

That is 91% above the 5 events Myanmar averages per month across the 21 months on record.
