WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 26_2023
Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24h. Earthquake M6.1 recorded by BMKG was updated to M5.5 at 294 km ENE of Lospalos, Timor Leste. Again, most of the highest magnitude earthquakes were concentrated in the Western Pacific: From the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia (M5.9) to the Balleny Islands in South Australia (M5.6) An evident seismic clustering can be seen as SSGEOS points out in its latest forecast.
Earthquake M5.5 hit Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lately we have seen seismic activity in Africa ranging from mild to very strong, as was the case in Morocco in North Africa. While the region of Iran in ME continues to record light to strong activity, today this country was shaken by an M5.1 earthquake. Similarly, Mexico continues with light seismic activity in the southeast, this time in Chiapas, on the border with Guatemala.
Recent quakes worldwide map shows the distribution of the last 20 large earthquakes. Unlike yesterday, the energy did not follow an appreciable line but activity was concentrated in the Western Pacific Ocean.
Fagradalsfjall volcano recorded 399 quakes below magnitude 2 in the past 24 hours. The number of recorded earthquakes increased again with 152 more earthquakes than in the past 24 hours.
Mother Earth is sending us signals that she is not happy.

Earthquake Forecast
SSGEOS: updated 26 October 2023, 20:30 UTC.There is a potential for stronger tremors, possibly clustering, following some critical planetary and lunar geometry on 24-25 October. See our earlier posts of atmospheric fluctuations for potential regions. A critical convergence of 5 planetary conjunctions from 28 to 30 October can result in large seismic activity from approximately 29 October to 1 November.
Period: October 18-26
