    Wake Up Sydney — Weather, Traffic and Trains
    Saturday, 6 June 2026

    Start your Saturday with a sunny forecast, a quick road check, and the key train and trackwork changes you’ll need to plan your day around Sydney.

    Weather
    Sunny across Sydney. In the CBD it’s 9.1°C now, heading for 20°C. Parramatta has a cool start before a sunny top in the low 20s, and Bondi is sunny around 20°C. Sunday looks much the same: clear skies with a range of 9–20.

    Surry Hills: a two-car crash on Liverpool St at Wentworth Ave is closing one of three westbound lanes. Emergency services are on scene—expect merging and minor delays.
