5 online stations · updated 5 minutes ago
Right now, 5 uRADMonitor stations in New Zealand report a median background dose rate of 0.130 µSv/h, with values between 0.090 and 0.152 µSv/h. Typical outdoor background radiation is between about 0.05 and 0.20 µSv/h. It depends on altitude and local geology, and it rises briefly during rain.

Each station counts ionizing radiation events with a Geiger tube and reports counts per minute (CPM). The dose rate shown here is the average of the station's latest readings multiplied by a conversion factor specific to its tube. Values from different tubes are comparable in µSv/h, not in CPM.
