The month's largest event in Peru was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake near San Fernando, Peru on 03 June 2026 at 17:21 UTC. A magnitude 5.2 earthquake radiates roughly 951 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Peru monthly average of 13 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 12 recorded the previous month.
33% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 67% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.
By band, the catalogue holds 7 in the magnitude 4 range, 2 in the magnitude 5 range.
Activity peaked on 06 June, when 2 events were recorded.
