Aqaba Aftershock Outlook
The Jordan Seismological Observatory recorded a magnitude 4.7 earthquake in the Gulf of Aqaba, at a depth of 10 kilometres and approximately 38 to 40 kilometres from the city. The timing or magnitude of aftershocks cannot be scientifically predicted in advance, though their likelihood can be estimated. Most are weaker than the main quake, but a stronger earthquake cannot be ruled out; globally, the probability of one occurring within a week is around 5%. Aqaba lies in a seismically active region, and monitoring stations and analysing seismic activity remain the available means of assessing risk.
