Wake Up Sydney is back with your Friday morning essentials for 24 July 2026, as Johnny Rocket kicks things off with his trademark energy before diving into a crisp winter update across Sydney. It’s a clear and sunny day across the city, with chilly starts in the CBD, Parramatta and Bondi before temperatures climb into the mid-to-high teens. The weekend is looking bright too, with Saturday forecast to bring sunshine and a warmer top of 20°C in the city. On the roads, traffic is causing the biggest headaches this morning, with multiple truck breakdowns affecting key routes including Camden Valley Way, James Ruse Drive, Woodville Road and Centenary Drive. While an earlier crash at Oatlands has cleared, heavy southbound traffic remains on James Ruse Drive. For commuters, Sydney Trains and Metro are running normally, with no major delays reported. However, listeners should note that buses will replace trains between Olympic Park and Lidcombe over the weekend, operating approximately every 30 minutes. Overall, it’s a sunny but chilly Friday in Sydney, with public transport running smoothly — though drivers should allow extra travel time due to several disruptions on the roads.
