Seismic Activity

A shallow 3.1-magnitude earthquake struck 64 kilometers north of Tegucigalpa on July 21 at 12:35 a.m., with no reported injuries or damage.

A 5.7-magnitude quake off Chiapas and a 5.3-magnitude Caribbean tremor were felt in Honduras within 24 hours, with no damage reported; Copeco dismissed social-media megaquake predictions as unscientific.

Authorities warned Hondurans this weekend to limit outdoor exposure to elevated Sahara dust concentrations (30–60 micrograms per cubic meter, expected to rise), scattered rainfall in the north and west, and possible aftershocks from Friday's magnitude-7-plus earthquake off Mexico's Pacific coast.

A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck 94 kilometers south of Amapala in Valle on July 8, causing no reported damage, but seismic officials are urging Hondurans to prepare for potentially larger tremors given the country's high tectonic activity.

A magnitude 3.5 earthquake centered about 36 kilometers southeast of Froylán Turcios in Olancho on Monday caused no reported damage or injuries, authorities said.

A magnitude 5.6 earthquake occurred off the Pacific coast of Honduras on Friday morning, centered 132 kilometers southwest of La Virtud in Lempira, with no reported damage or injuries on land.

A magnitude-4.4 earthquake struck off Honduras's north coast early June 2, the second tremor in the Caribbean in less than 24 hours; authorities reported no damage or injuries from either event.

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake centered off Chiapas, Mexico, on Friday morning was felt across Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador but caused no reported deaths or severe structural damage, unlike twin Venezuelan quakes in June that killed thousands.
