In today's episode of Wake Up Sydney, your host Johnny Rocket delivers the essential Thursday morning update for January 22, 2026. The weather forecast indicates a breezy day with temperatures climbing to a comfortable 26 degrees. It's perfect for a day at the beach, especially at Bondi, though beachgoers should be mindful of the windy conditions. Similar weather is expected in Parramatta, so make sure to dress appropriately.
On the traffic front, there's a minor snag due to a car breakdown on the M4 near Eastern Creek, causing a speed reduction. However, Transport for NSW is on top of it, ensuring minimal disruption. On a brighter note, there are no disruptions on the train lines, promising smooth commutes throughout the city.
Johnny also highlights the ongoing Sydney Festival, which will conclude on January 25th. He encourages listeners to experience the remaining events, such as the “Mama Does Derby” roller derby show at Sydney Town Hall and the “Efectos Especiales” cinema experience at Hickson Road.
