Wake Up Sydney

Wake Up Sydney starts Friday, 4 September 2026, with Johnny Rocket bringing a bright and upbeat morning update across weather, traffic and trains in Sydney.

Sydney is waking to a sunny and crisp start, with the CBD at 13.6°C on the way to 23°C, Parramatta beginning at 11.4°C and heading for 24°C, and Bondi sitting at 15°C with a top of 22°C. A light jacket is handy early, but conditions will warm up nicely by lunchtime. Looking ahead, Saturday is set to turn much hotter, windy and partly cloudy, reaching 31°C in the CBD and Parramatta, and 29°C at Bondi.

On the roads, the main issue is a truck breakdown on the M1 Pacific Motorway at Mount Kuring-gai, southbound just past Windybanks. Lane one of three is closed, with Transport for NSW and a heavy vehicle tow truck on site. Drivers coming into the city from the north should slow down, merge carefully and allow extra travel time.

For commuters, it’s a smooth run on public transport, with Sydney Trains and Metro operating normally and no reported incidents, delays or disruptions across the network.

Wake Up Sydney with Johnny Rocket gets your Thursday 3 September 2026 moving with a fresh look at Sydney weather, traffic and trains.

It’s a bright spring start across the city, with mostly sunny conditions on the way. The Sydney CBD is around 20°C, heading for a top of 27°C, Parramatta is starting at 17.9°C and also reaching 27°C, while Bondi sits at 19.2°C with a forecast top of 25°C.

On the roads, commuters are being warned of major delays after two crashes. A westbound car crash on the M5 at Moorebank near Moorebank Avenue has closed lane three, while a multi-vehicle crash on Homebush Bay Drive northbound at Liberty Grove near Oulton Avenue has closed lane two.

For train passengers, the key update is on the South Coast Line, where urgent track repairs at Coniston mean trains towards Dapto and Kiama are departing from Platform 1. Port Kembla services are running as normal, but passengers should check announcements and platform boards before travelling.

Johnny also previews a busy night across Sydney, with Sydney Contemporary opening at Carriageworks, Bulldogs versus Broncos at Accor Stadium, Kodaline playing the Enmore, the Sydney Symphony at the Opera House, and comedy lighting up Darlinghurst.

Wake Up Sydney brings you the latest weather, traffic and train updates for Wednesday, 2 September 2026, with Johnny Rocket helping Sydney start the day informed and ready to go.

It’s a bright early-spring morning across the city, with mostly sunny skies and warm conditions on the way. Expect tops of 27°C in the CBD and Parramatta, and 26°C at Bondi. If you’re heading outdoors, don’t forget the sunscreen, pop on a hat, and make the most of the beautiful spring weather.

On the roads, several breakdowns are causing delays across key routes. A car has broken down on Windsor Road at Baulkham Hills, trucks are affecting traffic on the M1 at Berowra and Wentworth Avenue at Mascot, and a semi-trailer is blocking the northbound right-turn lane on the M7 off-ramp to The Horsley Drive at Horsley Park. Drivers are urged to slow down, merge with care, and allow extra travel time, particularly around airport and motorway approaches.

For train passengers, services around Coalcliff are using Platform 2 due to an animal in the rail corridor. Commuters should listen for station announcements and allow a little extra time. Elsewhere, the Sydney train network is running normally.

The CBD starts at 11.4°C and is heading for a pleasant top of 25°C, Parramatta begins at 9°C with a warm 27°C ahead, while Bondi is already sitting at 15.8°C and expected to reach 23°C.

It’s a clear, blue-sky day across the city, and Johnny reminds listeners that with UV levels rising, it’s time to bring the sunscreen back into the daily routine.

On the roads, traffic is building in several trouble spots. The M4 at Holroyd is experiencing heavy eastbound delays after a two-car crash near Church Street closed lane four of four. In the M4 tunnel at Croydon near Royce Avenue, a cleared three-car crash is still causing heavy eastbound traffic. At Cammeray, a bus and car crash on Miller Street at Ernest Street is affecting traffic in all directions, with emergency services on scene.

Drivers heading towards Sydney Olympic Park are also advised to allow extra travel time due to events at the Showground.

For commuters using public transport, there’s good news to start spring: Sydney Trains and Metro are running normally, with no reported incidents or disruptions across the network.
