Outlook: July 2021


I made a post the other night even though I knew there probably was not going to be any significant earthquakes going on anywhere possibly until next week. I ended up deleting it. At the rate it is going, there also may not even be any significant activity going on in the world at all this weekend. Although it can change fairly rapidly and there could be a lot going on by tomorrow morning, it may be staying quiet for right now. The other night, I was debating myself on whether or not to make a post before going to bed. I was afraid that it would become active overnight while I was asleep even though it did not feel like there was going to be anything serious going on out there for a while. There has not been an abundant amount of activity going on worldwide over the past month and you would think it should start acting up by now, but there have been prolonged periods of low global seismic activity. A few years ago, there was a period of very few earthquakes in the world that went on for several months. I'm not implying that it may be like that again this time, but it may or may not become significantly active anywhere in the world this weekend. It may be next week when the next mag. 6+ happens somewhere. There was recently a magnitude 6 in the Antelope Valley area in Eastern California, but there have overall been very few sizeable EQs in the world over the past month and a half. At this point, there could be a set of large earthquakes worldwide within the next 5-10 days. It could start up tomorrow or this weekend or it could be sometime next week. Regions that may be more active would include the Kuril Islands, Taiwan, Indonesia, parts of Central Asia, Central America, and other places that are typically very active such as the Philippines and the Southwestern Pacific Ring of Fire. Right now, it may remain quiet out there, but there is still a decent chance a large quake could occur somewhere out there at any time.
