A hybrid seismic swarm was recorded in Tenerife from 18:34 to approximately 23:00 LT (17:34 to 22:00 UTC) on July 3, 2026, according to the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (INVOLCAN). The institute said the episode does not change the likelihood of a volcanic eruption on the island in the short or medium term.
A new swarm of hybrid seismic events began beneath Teide volcano on Tenerife at 20:00 LT (21:00 UTC) on February 16, 2026, according to the Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN). More than 300 very low-magnitude earthquakes have been detected so far by the Canary Seismic Network, marking the eighth swarm of this type recorded on the island since 2016. INVOLCAN attributes the activity to magmatic-fluid injection into Tenerife’s hydrothermal system and states that the likelihood of an eruption remains unchanged.
