Earthquakes in Peru — November 2026
1 earthquakes were recorded in Peru during November 2026, an average of 0.0 per day.
1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 67 km.
The month's largest event in Peru was a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Huarmey, Peru on 02 November 2026 at 15:28 UTC. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake radiates roughly 674 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Peru monthly average of 12 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 8 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 5 range.
That is 92% below the 12 events Peru averages per month across the 24 months on record.
