    Warm Melbourne Cup Day and Travel Delays

    02/11/2026 | 4 mins.
    Wake Up Sydney brings you Tuesday’s essential weather, traffic and train update for Sydney, with a warm and humid Melbourne Cup day ahead. Expect showers and possible storms across the city, with the CBD reaching 26°C, Parramatta heading for 27°C and a higher storm risk, and Bondi looking at 24°C with showers and a possible offshore storm.

    On the roads, drivers in Ryde should allow extra time after a two-car crash on Devlin Street at Blaxland Road. Heavy northbound traffic is building, with one of four lanes closed.

    For public transport, Central Station’s Chalmers Street entrance near the Dental Hospital remains closed. South Coast Line passengers should note buses are replacing trains between Kiama and Bomaderry due to track repairs, expected to wrap up around midday.

    There are also delays on the Eastern Suburbs and Illawarra Line, with signal repairs between Kings Cross and Edgecliff adding up to 15 minutes to some trips. Some Bondi Junction services may be held or diverted, so the Metro between Sydenham and the city is a useful backup option.

    Stay with Wake Up Sydney for the latest on Sydney’s weather, traffic and trains to help plan your day.

    Mild Morning with Showers Ahead

    01/11/2026 | 4 mins.
    Wake Up Sydney brings you a mild but slightly unsettled start to Monday, 2 November 2026, with showers possible across parts of the city. The CBD is sitting at 18.4°C on the way to 25°C, Parramatta is 18.7°C heading for 26°C with a possible later storm, and Bondi is 19.6°C with a top of 23°C and the chance of a coastal shower. Pack an umbrella, but you can leave the heavy jacket at home.

    On the roads, the key trouble spot is at Horsley Park, where a car breakdown on the M7 Motorway northbound near Saxony Road has closed one of three lanes. Crews are on site, and drivers are urged to merge early, slow down and allow a little extra time. Elsewhere, Sydney traffic is moving well for a Monday morning.

    For commuters, Sydney Trains and Metro services are running normally, with no trackwork, replacement buses or changed stopping patterns reported. It is a smooth start across the public transport network.

    Muggy Morning and Trackwork

    31/10/2026 | 4 mins.
    Wake Up Sydney gets you ready for Sunday, 1 November 2026, with a quick look at the weather, roads and public transport across the city.

    Sydney is starting the day mild and muggy, with showers around. The CBD and Parramatta are both heading for 25°C, with Parramatta also a chance of an afternoon storm. Bondi is set to reach about 23°C, with a possible shower by the coast.

    On the roads, traffic is looking excellent, with no current incidents reported across the Sydney road network.

    For public transport, it is a busier picture due to major weekend trackwork. Buses are replacing trains on parts of the T1 North Shore, T9 Northern, Central Coast & Newcastle, Olympic Park, Leppington and Blue Mountains lines. The Inner West Line is not running, and T3 Bankstown services are reduced to around every 30 minutes.

    If you are heading out, check your transport apps before you travel. The Metro between Epping and the city is a strong alternative for many passengers.

    Halloween Showers and Travel Delays

    30/10/2026 | 5 mins.
    Wake Up Sydney brings you the Halloween Saturday update for 31 October 2026, with the latest on weather, traffic and trains across Sydney. It’s a warm, muggy and unsettled day ahead, with showers and possible storms affecting the CBD, Parramatta and Bondi. Temperatures are heading for around 27°C at Bondi and up to 29°C in Parramatta, so if you’re heading out in costume, keep an umbrella close.

    On the roads, traffic is generally quiet across Sydney, but there is a crash in Mona Vale on Barrenjoey Road at Grandview Parade. Two of three lanes are closed in both directions, so drivers on the Northern Beaches should slow down, take care and allow extra travel time.

    Public transport is facing major weekend trackwork. The Inner West Line is not running, and buses are replacing trains on parts of the T1 North Shore, T9 Northern, and Central Coast & Newcastle lines. Several services, including the T1 Western, Blue Mountains, T3 Bankstown, and Sutherland to Hurstville routes, are also running to changed timetables.

    Before you head out for Halloween plans, check your transport apps, plan ahead and give yourself extra time. Wake Up Sydney keeps you informed so you can move around the city with less stress and more confidence.
