2024-09-01 00:00:00 Admin Daily Summary Warning

The earthquake activity (M6+ eccentricity = imbalance) in Asia-Pacific is still above average at 1.51 today (but falling) compared with the typical month of September average of 1.39 (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 higher than average with M5+ almost every day and three or more M6+ events every 2 weeks. Please check 48-hour hourly forecasts for each area

Results from Yesterday 31st August 2024- 0hrs to 24hrs UTC):

Asia-Pacific: yesterday we observed a total of 4 events of M4+ and 3 events of M4.5.  Of these about 5 out of 7 events could be associated with our hourly forecasts. Overall, the activity in the region was low, and less than expected as our daily strength forecast indicated some events in the M5+ level. We note that the Asian hotspots (M6+) during the month of August were in Surigao, Kyushu, Taiwan, N. Japan/Russia – activity was higher than expected

America: yesterday we observed a total of 8 events of M4+ and 0 event of M4.5 with 1 event of M5+ (Off SC Chile – Coquimbo) with in this area during the 24-hour period.  Of these, 9 of 9 events could be associated with our hourly forecasts.

The lunar phase strength is 53% (high), so that M4+ to M5.5 + 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)/Medium S)), 1.1/58%(N) 55%(S)), Java (Medium, 0.0/38%), Gensan/ Davao/ S. of Phils.
