Wake Up Sydney – Weather, Traffic and Trains
Tue 5 May 2026
Your bite-sized morning briefing for Sydney: plenty of sunshine across the city, a couple of sticky spots on the M5 eastbound, and trains running smoothly with a key access change at Strathfield.
Weather
CBD: 14.6°C now, sunny top of 24°C.
Parramatta: Sunny, mid-20s.
Bondi: Sunny, around 24°C; pleasant but brisk for a swim.
Traffic
M5 eastbound delays due to two breakdowns:
Narwee, approaching King Georges Rd: car breakdown blocking 2 of 3 lanes.
Hammondville, approaching Henry Lawson Dr: truck breakdown blocking lane 3; heavy tow en route.
Allow extra time, consider alternate routes, and drive with care.
Trains
Services running well overall.
Strathfield Station: Ramp to Platforms 5 & 6 (Homebush end) closed from 11am today until Fri 22 May for upgrades.
Use the Burwood-end pedestrian ramp or the lift; staff are available to assist.
Tune in for the full rundown and set yourself up for a smooth Sydney morning.
