In this lively segment of the Wake Up Sydney podcast, your host Johnny Rocket kick-starts the morning with all the essential details you need to navigate Thursday, 21st August 2025, in the bustling city of Sydney. If you're heading out today, it's best to prepare for a chilly and rainy day. Temperatures are set to hover between 13 to 15 degrees, so make sure you have your umbrella and non-squeaky shoes handy.
On the traffic front, Sydney drivers face a few hurdles. A pesky pothole on Anzac Parade in Moore Park, alongside a bus-car crash in Dean Park, could jam up your commute. Moreover, a breakdown on the M8 northbound in Tempe adds to the list of road challenges. Patience will be your best companion!
Train commuters aren't off the hook either. Wet weather conditions are causing delays on multiple lines, including the Central Coast, Newcastle, and South Coast lines. Remember to tread carefully and anticipate possible schedule changes.
For those seeking a rain-free itinerary, there's much to explore indoors. Embark on a delightful harbour cruise from Darling Harbour, or fancy a seat at the theatrical openings of "The Face of Jizo" at the Seymour Centre and "The 39 Steps" comedy at the Opera House.
Don't forget your umbrella, share a smile with fellow Sydneysiders, and embrace the day in this remarkable harbour city!
