This alert expired on 31 May 2026 at 00:15 UTC. It is kept here as a record.

It is the 29th strongest of the 89 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 15 March 2026. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. 9 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.

One source: NOAA. Not yet confirmed by a second, independent source.

Our own score for this event is 16 out of 100, at 60 % confidence.
