Strong earthquakes struck different areas in 2026, prompting questions about increasing frequency, but statistics show that 26 earthquakes of magnitude 6.5 or higher recorded so far this year is somewhat below the average of 46 per year and below the average frequency of the past 40 years. Scientists explain that earthquake numbers are stable and the perception of increasing frequency stems from media coverage of recent destructive events and cognitive biases such as recency bias and the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

These events count towards no band, municipality or active-source figure, and are not drawn on the map. The region is Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia. How this is decided
A count of events per day, not an index. A bar takes the colour of the worst band that day. This chart counts ALL events, including those outside the region, by the day they were first seen — which is why it does not match the number in the heading, which counts the region in the chosen window. The bar colour comes from that same unfenced set. The media signal index is not calculated yet; its formula will be published before the first number.
