Just 8 minutes ago, a 5.0-magnitude earthquake struck near Wellington, Wellington City, New Zealand. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Thursday, November 6th, 2025, at 9:09 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 23.50 km below the surface.
The event was filed by New Zealand’s Earthquake Commission and Geological Survey (GeoNet), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Ohariu (pop. 920) located 22 km from the epicenter, Karori (pop. 15,400) 24 km away, Wellington (pop. 381,900) 27 km away, and Porirua (pop. 62,400) 29 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Lower Hutt (pop. 114,000) located 35 km from the epicenter, Wainuiomata (pop. 19,800) 39 km away, Upper Hutt (pop. 48,300) 46 km away, Paraparaumu (pop. 30,800) 51 km away, Levin (pop. 19,800) 88 km away, and Masterton (pop. 29,100) 100 km away.
