When You Can Feel a Quake
Rule of thumb by magnitude. How strongly a quake is felt on an island depends on distance and depth. The intensity IGN gives after review is authoritative.
Volcanoes in the Canary Islands
Volcano monitoring in the Canary Islands is run by IGN, and the alert level (traffic light) is set by PEVOLCA, the Canary government's emergency plan. Quakes alone do not change the level. The valid status is published only by the authorities.

Earthquakes in the Canary Islands: Common Questions
Has there been an earthquake in the Canary Islands in recent days?
No. IGN has reported no quake for the Canary Islands in the last 7 days (as of 10:32). The public feed does not list quakes below about magnitude 2.5.
When can you feel an earthquake?
As a rule of thumb: below magnitude 3 usually only instruments, from 3 often faintly near the epicentre, from 4 usually clearly, from 5 widely. Distance and depth also matter.
Is a volcano active in the Canary Islands?
Volcano monitoring is run by IGN and the alert level is set by PEVOLCA. This page shows measured quakes only, no traffic light. The current status is published by the authorities.
How current is this page?
The job checks the IGN feed about every 30 minutes and rebuilds the page whenever something changes, at the latest every 2 hours. Times are shown in Canary Islands time.
Source and Method
The only source is IGN's (Instituto Geográfico Nacional) public seismology feed, supplemented by its table of felt quakes (depth and intensity where IGN lists them). The feed covers 10 days and mainly lists quakes from about magnitude 2.5. We add nothing and estimate nothing. IGN supplies times in UTC; we show Canary Islands time. If the feed fails, the last page stays up with its own time stamp.
