Aotearoa Summary. 18 March 2021 - 23 March 2021
A strong burst of local and Pacific quakes on 20 March came with a coronal hole solar windstream. Local quakes then eased back until a second burst arrived on 23 March. Deep quakes on the southern end of the Kermadec Ridge and at Kawerau may be precursor for following action in the next days and weeks. South Island action seems most likely in Fiordland. Solar conditions are likely to pick up again from 24 March, building over several days. 20 March. 200km North of East Cape 5.6 7.52am West of Snares Islands 5.0 10.53am West of Macquarie Island/Indian Ocean 6.1 6.19pm Eastern Honshu/Offshore Sendai 6.9 10.09pm 23 March.
