A series of either light or unnoticeable earthquakes have been recorded by GeoNet in the Bay of Plenty overnight.
A 2.7 magnitude quake hit south-east of Murupara around 4.35pm and was later followed by a 3.8 earthquake near Te Kaha just after midnight.
Both earthquakes were relatively shallow with the Murupara one having a focal depth of 12km and the Te Kaha earthquake being 38km deep.
GeoNet has recorded a number of other earthquakes overnight, one being in Rotorua around 11.30pm, another near Murupara at 2am and a 2.3 off the shores of White Island around 3.45am.
These have all been labelled ‘unnoticeable' by GeoNet.
