Wake Up Sydney

Wake Up Sydney: Weather, Traffic and Trains – Wednesday 16 September 2026

Good morning, Sydney. Today’s update brings a chilly, windy and partly cloudy start across the city, with the CBD and Parramatta sitting around 11.3°C and heading for tops of 17°C. Bondi is a touch warmer early at 12.1°C, but only expected to reach 16°C, so it’s definitely a jacket-and-scarf kind of day.

On the roads, drivers should take care at Mascot following a cleared two-car crash on General Holmes Drive northbound near Foreshore Road, where merging is still required. The bigger concern is at Milperra, with a multi-vehicle crash on the M5 Motorway eastbound just past Henry Lawson Drive closing two of three lanes and causing heavy traffic. Allow extra travel time and merge safely.

For public transport commuters, there’s good news: Sydney Trains and Metro services are running normally, with no reported incidents or disruptions. It’s another smooth morning across the rail network.

Stay warm, plan ahead, and travel safely with Wake Up Sydney.

Wake Up Sydney brings you the essential Tuesday morning update for 15 September 2026, covering the latest weather, traffic and train conditions across Sydney.

Today is looking mostly sunny and mild, with the chance of a late shower. The CBD is set to reach 24°C, Parramatta 26°C, and Bondi 22°C — so it may be worth packing a small umbrella for the commute home.

On the roads, Henry Lawson Drive at East Hills is closed in both directions between Harcourt Avenue and Monash Avenue following a crash, with diversions in place. In Greenacre, a breakdown is blocking one northbound lane on Stacey Street at the Hume Highway, causing delays, while traffic remains heavy on the M7 northbound at Eastern Creek after an earlier multi-vehicle crash was cleared.

For public transport, there’s positive news: Sydney Trains and Metro services are operating normally, with no reported incidents or timetable changes.

Johnny Rocket kicked off Sunday, 13 September 2026 on Wake Up Sydney with a bright and sunny outlook across the city. Sydney is in for a warm, beautiful day, with the CBD starting at 13.2°C and heading for a top of 23°C.

Sydney Metro is also heavily impacted, with no services between Tallawong and Sydenham and replacement buses running between Tallawong and Chatswood only.

Wake Up Sydney – Saturday 12 September 2026

It’s a smoky, hazy start across Sydney this morning, but clearer skies are on the way. The city is set for a sunny and mild afternoon, with the CBD warming from around 11°C to 21°C, Parramatta heading from 10°C to 23°C, and Bondi rising from 13°C to 20°C. Keep the sunnies handy by lunchtime, with a warmer feel expected into the early afternoon.

On the roads, Parramatta Road is causing delays in both directions. At Homebush, a three-vehicle crash near Potts Street has closed two eastbound lanes, with emergency services on scene. At Auburn, a car breakdown approaching Silverwater Road has closed one westbound lane, with crews and a tow truck attending. Drivers should allow extra travel time and take care when merging.

Public transport is heavily impacted by weekend trackwork, with replacement buses running across parts of the South Coast, T4, Cronulla, Macarthur–East Hills, Leppington–Liverpool, Blue Mountains, and Central Coast/Newcastle lines. Several services are operating to changed timetables, and some Sydney Trains services are reduced to 30-minute frequencies this morning.

Light rail passengers should also plan ahead, with L2 Randwick and L3 Kingsford services limited due to a technical issue. Information displays and announcements are not operating, so check transport apps before heading out.

Before you travel today, leave early, check the latest updates, and plan for delays across Sydney’s roads and public transport network.
