Episode Details

Wake Up Sydney with Johnny Rocket brings you the essential Wednesday morning update for 26 August 2026, covering weather, roads and public transport across Sydney. It’s a cool, showery hump day, with the CBD and Parramatta sitting around 14.9°C and both heading for tops of 19°C. Parramatta may see some early fog before showers arrive, while Bondi starts a little warmer at 16.5°C, reaching 18°C with wet weather also expected. In short: bring the umbrella, coat and coffee. On the roads, the key traffic issue is in Liverpool, where a two-car crash on Copeland Street at Moore Street has closed one southbound lane. Transport for NSW is on site, and drivers are urged to slow down, give crews room and allow extra travel time. For commuters, there’s good news: Sydney Trains and Metro are running normally, with no reported incidents or delays. Johnny calls it a rare wet Wednesday win, with the trains “behaving like absolute angels.”
