The month's largest event in Poland was a magnitude 4.3 earthquake near Gaworzyce, Poland on 03 May 2026 at 18:38 UTC. A magnitude 4.3 earthquake radiates roughly 43 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Poland monthly average of 1 events over the period we cover.
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 23% below the 1 events Poland averages per month across the 10 months on record.
