If several earthquakes reached the same highest local Shindo, we show the most recent one. Monthly counts depend on station coverage and imported records; they do not establish a seasonal pattern or predict the next earthquake.
Observation history · 2022
This history counts earthquakes observed at stations in the place, not earthquakes whose epicentre lies inside its boundary. Counts can change as stations are updated and older or corrected observations are added.
