Earthquake Predictions for 2023
Based on the current model (work is still in progress) the earthquake(s) of magnitude 6.9 or higher, if occur, are likely to occur on the following dates, times and at possible locations. Please note that these hourly predictions are provided below for this month and for the rest of the year predictions will be added until the model is expected to be developed with a reasonable degree of confidence. Please note that these dates and time refer to the Universal time (GMT). I must add that lately this constantly evolving model seems to getting closer to the point of a significant progress.

There were three earthquakes of magnitude 6.9 and higher in January as follow:
Jan 8, 2023: Region: Vanuatu, Geographic coordinates: 14.938S, 166.878E, Magnitude: 7.0, Universal Time (UTC): 8 Jan 2023 12:32:42, Time near the Epicenter: 8 Jan 2023 23:32:42
Jan 9, 2023: Region: Indonesia, Geographic coordinates:7.085S, 130.039E, Magnitude: 7.6, Universal Time (UTC): 9 Jan 2023 17:47:34, Time near the Epicenter: 10 Jan 2023 02:47:34
Jan 18, 2023: Region: Molucca Sea, Geographic coordinates:2.740N, 127.051E, Magnitude: 7.0, Universal Time (UTC): 18 Jan 2023 06:06:14, Time near the Epicenter: 8 Jan 2023 15:06:14
Out of these three, the model predicted two earthquakes correctly while the third one missed by a day. As far as location is concerned it predicted one of those two correctly.
For February, based on the current model (work is still in progress) the earthquake(s) of magnitude 6.9 or higher, if occur, are likely to occur on the following dates, times and at possible locations.
