Earthquakes in Venezuela — June 2026

13 earthquakes were recorded in Venezuela during June 2026, an average of 0.4 per day.

13 reached magnitude 4 or above and 2 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 11 km.

The month's largest event in Venezuela was a magnitude 7.5 earthquake near Yumare, Venezuela on 24 June 2026 at 22:05 UTC. A magnitude 7.5 earthquake radiates roughly 2.7 million tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Venezuela monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 3 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 11 in the magnitude 4 range, 2 in the magnitude 7 range.

Activity peaked on 24 June, when 3 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M7.5 near Yumare, Venezuela on 24 June at 10 km; M7.2 near San Felipe, Venezuela on 24 June at 22 km; M4.8 near El Tocuyo, Venezuela on 04 June at 10 km.

That is 367% above the 3 events Venezuela averages per month across the 14 months on record.

This month also holds the strongest earthquake recorded in Venezuela in our entire catalogue.
