Earthquakes in the United States — June 2026

7756 earthquakes were recorded in the United States during June 2026, an average of 258.5 per day.

42 reached magnitude 4 or above and 12 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 14 km.

The month's largest event in the United States was a magnitude 5.7 earthquake near Pistol River, United States on 03 June 2026 at 10:53 UTC. A magnitude 5.7 earthquake radiates roughly 5,351 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is close to the the United States monthly average of 7168 events over the period we cover, and down from the 8197 recorded the previous month.

95% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 5% 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 -2 range, 326 in the magnitude -1 range, 2301 in the magnitude 0 range, 3675 in the magnitude 1 range, 1189 in the magnitude 2 range, 221 in the magnitude 3 range.

Activity peaked on 23 June, when 362 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.7 near Pistol River, United States on 03 June at 10 km; M5.7 near Pistol River, United States on 03 June at 11 km; M5.6 near Redwood Valley, United States on 24 June at 8 km.

That is close to the 7168 events the United States averages per month across the 21 months on record.
