In this episode of Wake Up Sydney, host Johnny Rocket kicks off Tuesday, August 12, 2025, with a lively update on the city's weather, traffic, and trains. Sydney is waking up to crisp, cool temperatures around eight degrees, heading towards eighteen, with intermittent showers expected throughout the day. Residents are advised to keep their umbrellas handy, especially in the CBD and Parramatta. Over at Bondi Beach, cooler breezes suggest layering up before hitting the promenade.
Traffic is flowing smoothly with no major incidents reported, but drivers are advised to be cautious on the slick roads due to the rain. Meanwhile, train commuters face delays on the Western and North Shore Lines due to vandalism at St Marys, leading to reduced speeds and potential schedule changes. Passengers should allow extra travel time and stay updated via announcements and transport apps.
For those seeking a bit of sparkle in their day, Johnny suggests a lunch-time buffet cruise from Darling Harbour or an evening out at the Sydney Opera House for a performance of The 39 Steps. As always, Johnny leaves listeners with a reminder to embrace the day with positivity and gratitude for Sydney's unique charm. Tune in tomorrow at 7:30am for more updates and inspiration.
