    Wellington has been rattled by a magnitude 4.2 earthquake this morning.

    Initial recording by Geonet put the quake at 4.7 and a depth of 28km, 25km west of Paraparaumu on the Kāpiti Coast.

    However, that has since been revised to a magnitude 4.2, causing "light shaking" in the region.

    A police spokeswoman said there were no reports at this stage of any damage relating to the quake.
