Daily Summary Warning - May 01st 2024

2024-05-01 00:00:00 Admin Daily Summary Warning

The earthquake activity (M6+ eccentricity = imbalance) in Asia-Pacific is greater than average at 1.68 today compared with the typical month of May average of 1.35 (note the lunar Phase Ratio (PR) is now (since 22nd April) at PR>1 so that large quakes are more likely in the periods close to new and full moon. The activity in the last 2 weeks in Asia-Pacific region has been high recently with M5.5+ almost every day and one or more M6+ events every 3 weeks.

Results from Yesterday 30th April 2024- 0hrs to 24hrs UTC):

Asia-Pacific: according to our information there were a total of 8 events of M4+ and 1 event of M4.5 with 1 event of M5+ (Molucca Sea). Of these about 7 out of 10 events could be associated with our hourly forecasts. Overall, the activity in the region was low to moderate, and as expected as our daily strength forecast indicated some events in the M5+ level.

America: according to our information there were a total of 6 events of M4+ and 3 events of M4.5 with 2 events of M5+ (S. Mexico, Chiapas and Windward Isles, Barbados) and 1 event of M5.5+ (S.

Overall, the activity in the region was low to moderate-hi and greater than expected. There were total of 25 ineffective forecasts for this period (M4+ event/ forecast rate 23%).

Europe/Africa: - 3 x M4+ and 1 x M4.5 events were noted in this region during the 24-hour period, 4 of which could be identified with our hourly forecasts for the day. So that activity was low - and as expected. There were total of 19 ineffective hourly forecasts for this period (M4+ event/ forecast rate 19%).

Forecast for Today:

Today 01st May 2024 (UTC/GMT), the overall daily M5+ probability in Asia- Pacific is Low 27% and the M5+ stress eccentricity is 3.0 (high) which means focussed activity in the region today. The lunar phase strength is 44% (medium), so that M4+ to M4.5 + intensity quakes are expected in Asia-Pacific today

Asia-Pacific: probability (2.0=max:M5+ stress transfer/ %= overall incl. lunar) today is for N/S Sumatra/ Nicobar/Myanmar (Med-hi N)/Med-lo S)), 1.7/64%(N) 43%(S)), Java (Med-lo, 0.2/31%), Gensan/ Davao/ S. of Phils.
