More than 300 earthquakes will be recorded in the United Kingdom in 2025

More than 300 earthquakes will be recorded in the UK in 2025, British Geological Survey data showed.

The two largest earthquakes occurred just hours apart near Loch Lyon in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, when a 3.7 magnitude earthquake was recorded on October 20, followed by a 3.6 magnitude earthquake.

As of 18 December 2025, 309 earthquakes have been recorded across the UK. The regions of Perthshire and the Western Highlands of Scotland, southern parts of Wales, and Yorkshire and Lancashire of England recorded the greatest seismic activity overall.

Seismologist Brian Baptie said the UK would see an average earthquake “almost once a day” in 2025.

A total of 34 earthquakes occurred near Lion Lake between October and December, the report said.

“Western Scotland is one of the busiest parts of the UK,” Dr Baptee said.

Some of this can be attributed to geological faults including the Great Glen and the Highland Boundary Fault.

“By contrast, north-east Scotland experiences very few earthquakes.”

Two small earthquakes struck Lancashire over as many weeks in December, with the 2.5 magnitude quake's epicenter off the coast of Silverdale, in Morecambe Bay.

BGS confirmed that the earthquake was an aftershock of a 3.3-magnitude earthquake that struck the region at the beginning of December.

Seismic activity is recorded by 80 monitoring stations across the UK, operated by BSG.

She said the UK sees between 200 and 300 earthquakes a year, but people only feel or hear about 20 or 30 of them.

This year, it received 1,320 reports from members of the public who felt tremors this year.

A magnitude 4 event is usually recorded in the UK and surrounding areas every three to four years, and a magnitude 5 event occurs every few decades – most recently in 2008 in Lincolnshire.

A magnitude 6 earthquake occurs every few hundred years.

The largest known earthquake in the United Kingdom occurred in 1931, near Dogger Bank, in the North Sea off the coast of Yorkshire.

It measured 6.1 magnitude and was strong enough to cause minor damage to buildings on the east coast of England, even though its center was 60 miles offshore.

In general, earthquakes are caused by the tectonic plates that make up the Earth moving and rubbing against each other. Small earthquakes, including those that occurred in the United Kingdom, can be caused by movements of geological faults in the Earth's crust.

The UK lies within the Eurasian plate, more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from the nearest plate boundary. For this reason, it does not experience large earthquakes like those that occur in other parts of the world.
