Three more earthquakes during the night in Campi Flegrei

Naples – A breath of fresh air, albeit cautious, comes from technical data on the bradyseism affecting the Phlegraean Fields. According to the latest weekly monitoring bulletin released by the Vesuvius Observatory (INGV), the rate of ground uplift in the Phlegraean Fields has undergone a marked deceleration. Since mid-December 2025, the average rate has stabilized at 15 mm per month, confirming a slowing trend compared to the peaks recorded last fall.

After the intense seismic swarm in February, the rate of uplift doubled, reaching 30 mm per month, before stabilizing in the spring. A new acceleration occurred starting on October 10, with the ground pushing upward again at a rate of 25 mm per month.
