Earthquakes in Poland — July 2026

The month's largest event in Poland was a magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Grębocice, Poland on 11 July 2026 at 06:11 UTC. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake radiates roughly 338 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is well above the Poland 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.
The month's largest events were M4.9 near Grębocice, Poland on 11 July at 10 km; M4.0 near Polkowice, Poland on 18 July at 10 km.
That is 54% above the 1 events Poland averages per month across the 10 months on record.
