Sunny Sydney Sunday: Weather, Fun, and Travel Tips

Wake Up Sydney - Weather, Traffic, and Trains Update

Welcome to your Sunday rundown with Johnny Rocket on Wake Up Sydney. As of August 17, 2025, we're blessed with a bright and clear winter day in Sydney. The CBD is soaking in sunny skies with a slight morning chill, warming up to a pleasant 17 degrees by the afternoon—absolutely perfect for those outdoor coffee breaks.

In Parramatta, expect the same sunny delight, making it ideal for picturesque river strolls or a leisurely extended brunch. For those heading to Bondi Beach, get ready for some sparkle and a fresh breeze that's perfect for a refreshing walk by the seaside.

On the road, traffic looks smooth with clear paths. However, if you're relying on train connections at Wolli Creek, be aware of possible issues. A few bus stops have shifted, so it's wise to check your routes carefully.

If you're seeking Sunday activities, the Sydney Boat Show at Olympic Park promises water-filled fun. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the epic adventure of Star Wars: A New Hope in Concert at the Opera House, complete with a live orchestra. For science aficionados, the Sydney Science Trail offers interactive exhibits guaranteed to spark curiosity.

Wrap up your day with the free and stunning Badu Gili: Healing Spirit light show at the Opera House, giving you an evening filled with wonder and charm.

That's your day packed with sunshine, exciting events, and good vibes. Johnny Rocket signs off, promising to greet you again tomorrow morning with another lively update. Stay tuned and enjoy your Sunday in Sydney!
