Sunny Friday and M4 Delays

Wake Up Sydney brings you the latest weather, traffic and train updates for Friday, 14 August 2026. Sydney is starting the day with clear skies and crisp morning conditions, warming to a pleasant 20°C in the CBD and Parramatta, while Bondi tops out at 18°C. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, with showers expected to move in over the weekend. On the roads, the M4 westbound at Homebush West is the key trouble spot after a multi-vehicle crash closed three of four lanes, causing heavy delays. There are also breakdowns affecting traffic at Orchard Hills and Prospect on the M4, plus incidents on Forest Way at Belrose and the M1 near Mooney Mooney. For public transport users, it is good news: Sydney Trains and Metro are running normally with no reported incidents, marking five straight days of smooth service. Allow extra travel time if you are driving, especially around the M4, and make the most of the bright Friday conditions across Sydney.
