A shallow magnitude-4.6 earthquake that jolted Christchurch this morning was the first of that size since January.

The quake rocked the city at 9.45am and was 6 kilometres deep. It was centred 10km east of Christchurch, off New Brighton.

It was described as "strong" by GeoNet.

Cantabrians who rushed to GeoNet's website to get more details were not able to see anything for about 25 minutes as there was a delay in the report showing up on the website.

Thomas Mead tweeted: "I guess Geonet didn't get the daylight saving memo?"

Anthea Livingstone joked: "Are you sleeping in @geonet?"


GeoNet has since explained the delay.

"Our automatic system missed this quake, and we're still investigating why this was. The earthquake was subsequently manually located by our duty seismologist," spokeswoman Caroline Little said.

She said the quake should have been easily recognised by the automatic system as it registered on 77 of GeoNet's seismographs around the country, even as far north as Hamilton.
