Abstract: Could the summer 2025 earthquake awakening be provoked by magnetic storms? Dimitar Ouzounov (1,2) and Galina Khachikyan (3) expertly walk us through the strong earthquakes awakening in July and August of 2025, which geomagnetic storms could have provoked in June 2025. M8+ earthquakes usually happen once a year. However, since 2021, there have been no major earthquakes of magnitude 8 or higher. This drought ended in July 2025 with five M7+ events: a M7.3 in Alaska on 16th July, a M7.4 in Eastern Kamchatka on 20th July, the M7.0 in Macquarie Island on 28th July, an M8.8 earthquake in the Kamchatka Peninsula on 29th July, and an M7.5 in Drake Passage on 22nd August.
