Sunny Sydney Start and M1 Delay

Wake Up Sydney starts Friday, 4 September 2026, with Johnny Rocket bringing a bright and upbeat morning update across weather, traffic and trains in Sydney. Sydney is waking to a sunny and crisp start, with the CBD at 13.6°C on the way to 23°C, Parramatta beginning at 11.4°C and heading for 24°C, and Bondi sitting at 15°C with a top of 22°C. A light jacket is handy early, but conditions will warm up nicely by lunchtime. Looking ahead, Saturday is set to turn much hotter, windy and partly cloudy, reaching 31°C in the CBD and Parramatta, and 29°C at Bondi. On the roads, the main issue is a truck breakdown on the M1 Pacific Motorway at Mount Kuring-gai, southbound just past Windybanks. Lane one of three is closed, with Transport for NSW and a heavy vehicle tow truck on site. Drivers coming into the city from the north should slow down, merge carefully and allow extra travel time. For commuters, it’s a smooth run on public transport, with Sydney Trains and Metro operating normally and no reported incidents, delays or disruptions across the network. Tune in to Wake Up Sydney for your essential morning snapshot of the city’s weather, roads and rail before you head out the door.
