A new tremor in Mexico: in the early hours of this Tuesday, March 28, a magnitude 4.0 earthquake was recorded in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.

The National Seismological Service (SSN) reported that at 03:55 this Tuesday an earthquake of magnitude 4.0 was detected with an epicenter located 300 kilometers southwest of Puerto Vallarta.

The agency of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) detailed that the coordinates of the epicenter of the magnitude 4.4 tremor were:

  • latitude: 18.89
  • length: -107.44
  • depth: 10km

EARTHQUAKE Magnitude 4.0 Loc 300 km SOUTHWEST of PUERTO VALLARTA, JAL 03/28/23 03:55:08 Lat 18.89 Lon -107.44 Pf 10 km”, reported the National Seismological Service on Twitter.

The Mexican Seismic Alert System did not report the earthquake in Puerto Vallarta, so it did not warrant the activation of the seismic alert in Mexico City, given that the energy estimate in the first seconds did not exceed the preset levels to trigger earthquake alarms.
