Cold Morning, Sunny Day

Wake Up Sydney with Johnny Rocket starts Friday, 31 July 2026, with a crisp but bright winter morning across the city. In today’s update, Johnny covers Sydney’s weather outlook, with the CBD beginning at 7.3°C and heading for a mostly sunny top of 18°C. Parramatta starts even colder at 4.5°C before warming to a sunny 18°C, while Bondi sits at 9.4°C with a top of 16°C. Looking ahead, Saturday may bring a shower or two, so weekend planners should keep an umbrella handy. On the roads, there are several disruptions to watch. A truck breakdown is affecting the M1 Pacific Motorway southbound off-ramp to the Pacific Highway at Cowan. In Dulwich Hill, emergency services are responding to a car and motorcycle crash on Old Canterbury Road at Hurlstone Avenue. Meanwhile, at Len Waters Estate, a three-vehicle crash on Cowpasture Road approaching Airfield Drive is causing heavy westbound delays, with one lane closed. For public transport users, it’s good news: Sydney Trains and Metro are running normally, with no reported incidents across the network. That marks a sixth straight day of smooth service for commuters. Johnny wraps up the morning by encouraging Sydneysiders to allow extra travel time where needed, enjoy the winter sunshine, and head into the weekend with kindness and patience.
