Earthquakes in Oman — June 2025

2 earthquakes were recorded in Oman during June 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.

2 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 Oman was a magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Şalālah, Oman on 16 June 2025 at 09:08 UTC. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake radiates roughly 338 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Oman monthly average of 1 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 2 in the magnitude 4 range.

Activity peaked on 16 June, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.9 near Şalālah, Oman on 16 June at 10 km; M4.8 near Şalālah, Oman on 16 June at 10 km.

That is 60% above the 1 events Oman averages per month across the 4 months on record.

This month also holds the strongest earthquake recorded in Oman in our entire catalogue.
