Summary.
21 July. North of East Cape 4.5
This forecast mostly turned to custard.
Due to slow Internet speed, data gathering was limited and Facebook wouldn't load and other mistakes.
A patchy forecast was posted on the quakestorm site.
Luckily there's never time to dwell on forecast failures, nor unfortunately to bathe in the glowing light of forecast success.
A new forecast period could begin early 23 July.
