Daily Summary Warning - July 19th 2024
The earthquake activity (M6+ eccentricity = imbalance) in
Asia-Pacific is below average at 1.31 today compared with the typical month of July
average of 1.34 (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
falling recently with M5+ almost every day and one or more M6+ events every 6 weeks.
Results from Yesterday 18th
July 2024- 0hrs to 24hrs UTC):
Asia-Pacific: yesterday we observed a total of 6 events of M4+ and 4 events of M4.5
with 2 events of M5+ (Surigao and SW of Sumatra) and 1 event of M5.5+ (Izu
isles). Of these about 10 out of 13 events
could be associated with our hourly forecasts. Overall, the activity in the
region was low to moderate-hi, and greater than expected as our daily strength forecast
indicated some events in the M5+ level.
America: yesterday we observed a total of 7 events of M4+ and 1 event of
M4.5 in this area during the 24-hour period. Of these, 7 of 8 events could be associated
with our hourly forecasts. Overall, the activity in the region was low and as expected.
There were total of 20 ineffective forecasts for this period (M4+ event/ forecast
rate 29%).
Europe/Africa: - 0 x M4+ and 0 x M4.5 events were noted in this region during the
24-hour period, 0 of which could be identified with our hourly forecasts for
the day. So that activity was low and as expected. There were total of 27 ineffective
hourly forecasts for this period (M4+ event/ forecast rate 0%).
Forecast for Today:
Today 19th July 2024 (UTC/GMT), the overall
daily M5+ probability in Asia- Pacific is low 26% and the M5+ stress
eccentricity is 2.9 (high) which means focussed activity in the region
today. The lunar phase strength is 52% (high), so that M4+ to M5 + 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-lo N)/Medium S)), 2.0/31%(N)
43%(S)), Java (Med-lo, 0.0/21%), Gensan/ Davao/ S. of Phils. (Med-lo,
0.3/27%), Surigao/ Samar (Med-lo, 0.7/26%), Manila/Batangas/ Mindoro (Low, 0.9/25%),
