Chilly Sydney Start: Weather, Traffic, and Train Updates

Wake Up Sydney: Weather, Traffic, and Trains Update

In this episode of Wake Up Sydney, Johnny Rocket kicks off your Monday morning, August 18, 2025, with an upbeat weather, traffic, and train update for Sydney.

Weather: Expect chilly temperatures of around 6.6 degrees in the CBD with breezy conditions making it feel even colder. Showers are forecasted throughout the day, with highs around 15 degrees, making umbrellas a must-have accessory. Parramatta and Bondi Beach will see similar weather, with layers and warm clothing recommended.

Traffic: On the roads, be cautious on the M1 Pacific Motorway southbound at Mooney Mooney due to a closed lane from pothole repairs. Meanwhile, a truck breakdown is causing speed reductions on the M4 eastbound at Ettalong Road in Greystanes.

Trains: Train commuters can enjoy a smooth morning as all lines are operating normally with no incidents.

Leisure Activities: For leisure activities, Sydney offers a harbor buffet cruise from King Street Wharf at midday and entertainment options including The Marriage of Figaro at the Opera House and The Book of Mormon at the Capitol Theatre.

Johnny Rocket wraps up the segment with a reminder to be kind, stay dry, and enjoy a strong coffee and a short commute.

Tune in again tomorrow at 7:30am for more lively updates.
