We've had dustings of snow and squalls of wind and rain, mild afternoons and bitterly cold nights that gave way to beautiful bluebird days.
None of that is unknown - It's a changeable time of year. But the weather this late autumn weekend will be a classic for the season,the Metservice says.
Meteorologist Tom Adams said a front coming in from the south-west and lows from the west and north would deliver an unsettled weekend for the country.
The fog which blanketed Auckland this morning, affecting more than 100 flights in and out of Auckland Airport, has now cleared and the city was likely to escape a return tomorrow, Adams said.

But Waikato and parts of the Central North Island, including Taupo and Rotorua, were expected to again feel the effects of fog.
Wind in Wellington would prevent it enveloping the capital, he said.
