WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JUNE 21_2024
Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the last 24 hours however a seismic silence for activity above magnitude 5.5 still remains. We had four M5+ earthquakes in the last 24 hours.

Frank Hoogerbeets discusses in his latest
VIDEO the absence of earthquakes greater than magnitude 6.5 since April
The Moon is in opposition with Jupiter and the Sun (full Moon) on June 20-22. This geometry follows on the very crítical geometry that occurred on June 14-17 As a result, there is the potential for a major seismic event possibly later on June 21 or 22
Last time a magnitude 7 earthquake occurred was on April 2 in Taiwan. Since early April no earthquake occurred with a magnitude higher than 6.6. Most earthquakes reached higher 5 magnitude and some low 6 magnitude
In the solar system we see the full Moon and the geometry with Venus and Mercury, this could cause some seismic rise. Around the time of the full Moon is a possibility.
From June 11 to 20, we had an M6.0 earthquake west of the Macquarie Island and another one of the same magnitude in the Macquarie Islands.
● M 6.0 - west of Macquarie Island on June 16
● M 6.0 - 23 km SW of Atiquipa, Peru on
June 16
What planetary and solar conditions prevailed? Venus, Earth, Mercury and Mercury, Sun, Earth on June 14, then Sun, Mercury, Venus on June 16. Moreover the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) recorded a Bt value of 15.76 nT on June 15.

For the time being, solar activity remains at a low level with several minor class C flares and an IMF below 5nT. NOAA forecasts that activity will be moderate with slight chance of an X-flare on June 22
Let's wait and see.
