Sydney Weather and Travel Update

Wake Up Sydney brings you the essential start to Monday, 3 August 2026, with the latest on Sydney’s weather, roads and rail network. It’s a bright but changeable winter morning across the city. The Sydney CBD is starting at around 9.8°C and heading for a pleasant top of 23°C, though a shower or two may arrive later. Parramatta is a little cooler at 8.3°C, also reaching 23°C, while Bondi begins the day at 13°C with a forecast top of 21°C. Keep the umbrella handy, just in case. On the roads, commuters should prepare for delays in several key spots. A car breakdown on Victoria Road at West Ryde is causing heavy eastbound traffic approaching Bowden Street. At Hunters Hill, a three-car crash on the Church Street on-ramp to Burns Bay Road northbound is affecting traffic flow. In Strathfield, a car and motorcycle crash on Parramatta Road at George Street has closed one eastbound lane. There are also disruptions around Mascot, where a breakdown on the Southern Cross Drive off-ramp to Botany Road may impact airport-bound traffic, while Kingsgrove is dealing with a truck breakdown on Stoney Creek Road, with lanes closed in both directions. For public transport users, there are significant delays on the Airport and South Line due to urgent track repairs between Tempe and Sydenham. Some trains are being diverted via the Airport Line, stopping at Revesby and Central. Passengers are advised to allow extra travel time, listen for announcements, check station screens and consider changing at Central or using Metro services where available.
