Episode Details

Wake Up Sydney starts Thursday 13 August 2026 with Johnny Rocket bringing you a bright and sunny winter outlook across the city. Sydney is in for a clear day, with the CBD warming from 10.9°C to a top of 20°C, Parramatta also reaching 20°C under mostly sunny skies, and Bondi enjoying sunshine with a high of 19°C. On the roads, the key traffic issue is at Horsley Park, where a B-double has broken down on The Horsley Drive at Ferrers Road. One of three westbound lanes is closed, with moderate delays in the area. Transport for NSW and a heavy vehicle tow truck are on site, and drivers are urged to slow down and merge with care. For commuters, there’s more good news across the network. Sydney Trains and Metro services are running normally, with no incidents reported, continuing a rare four-day streak of smooth public transport operations. All up, it’s a sunny and settled Thursday across Sydney, with just one notable road disruption and public transport staying firmly on track.
