latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 in total) could be used for statistics.What is Intensity and the Mercalli Intensity Scale?The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)II: Very weak shaking1182–182 km (113–113 mi)182 km (113 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report! Other users would love to hear about it!If you did NOT feel the quake although you were in the area, please report it as well! Your contribution is valuable to earthquake science and seismic hazard analysis.Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data. It takes normally up to a few hours until earthquake parameters are calculated with near-optimum precision.MagDepthTime GMT2026-06-28EpicenterAgency3.939 km24 mi20:55:43OFFSHORE GUATEMALAEMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre)3.939 km24 mi20:55:4261 Km al suroeste de Champerico, Guatemala12 km (7.3 mi) epicenter difference with EMSCINETEREarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 420 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 18.2 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.34 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 4.7 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 138 quakes per year (or 11.5 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 387 quakes per year (or 32.2 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 418 quakes per year (or 34.8 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 7 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 15 to 20 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 3 days after a magnitude 4.1 earthquake had hit on Thursday, Jun 25, 2026, at 10:59 pm (GMT -6 local time) in 69 km (43 mi) distance to the northwest:Mag. 4.1 earthquake 46 km SW of Puerto Madero - Mexico - The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 8.0.
