Earthquakes in Nepal — July 2026
1 earthquakes were recorded in Nepal during July 2026, 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 10 km.
The month's largest event in Nepal was a magnitude 4.5 earthquake near Tulsīpur, Nepal on 19 July 2026 at 10:45 UTC. A magnitude 4.5 earthquake radiates roughly 85 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Nepal monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet 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 64% below the 3 events Nepal averages per month across the 13 months on record.
