Episode Details

Wake Up Sydney with Johnny Rocket brings you the latest weather, traffic and train updates for Friday, 25 September 2026, helping you start the day across Sydney informed and ready. It’s a warm, partly cloudy morning across the Harbour City, with the Sydney CBD starting at 16.4°C and heading for a top of 25°C. Parramatta is warming up to 29°C, while Bondi is set for a pleasant 25°C. Looking ahead, Saturday turns up the heat, with 30°C forecast for Sydney, 34°C for Parramatta and 29°C at Bondi. On the roads, commuters should allow extra time, with delays caused by a truck breakdown on the Hume Highway at Parramatta Road in Ashfield, a car breakdown on Epping Road at Macquarie Park, road damage from an earlier oil spill on Woodville Road at Chester Hill, and a two-car crash on Forest Road at Boundary Road in Peakhurst. Across the train network, most services are running as normal, but there are a couple of key updates for commuters. Merrylands Station’s footbridge will be closed for upgrade works from 4am Saturday 26 September until 8pm Sunday 27 September, with pedestrians directed to use the underpass. At Redfern, a police operation has closed parts of Gibbons and Regent Streets, which may impact walking routes and bus connections, including routes 306, 308, 309, 310 and 392. In this episode, Johnny Rocket wraps up everything you need to know for a busy Friday in Sydney — from sunshine and rising temperatures to road delays and minor public transport disruptions — before the city heads into a hot weekend.
