Magnitude 2.2 Tremor Recorded in Xochimilco, Felt in Parts of Mexico City

Officials explain the seismic alert did not sound because the epicenter was inside the city.

Overview

  • The Servicio Sismológico Nacional reported a magnitude 2.2 event at 3:46:51 p.m. local time on December 13 with coordinates 19.21°N, 99.10°W and an approximate depth of 2 km.
  • C5 CDMX said the tremor was perceptible in some areas of the capital and urged residents to follow official channels for updates.
  • Authorities coordinated monitoring with the SGIRPC and, as of the latest reports, have no reports of injuries or material damage.
  • City officials noted the early-warning system remained inactive because a local epicenter leaves insufficient lead time to issue an alert.
  • Local outlets, citing SSN data, noted this was the 29th microsismo recorded in Mexico City in 2025.
