In this episode of Wake Up Sydney, host Johnny Rocket kicks off Sunday, August 3rd, 2025, with a lively update on Sydney's weather, traffic, and events.
The day is set to be a rainy adventure across the city, with temperatures hovering around 16-18 degrees and winds making it feel much cooler. Parramatta and Bondi Beach also see similar rainy forecasts, putting a dampener on any outdoor plans.
Traffic-wise, those heading to the Blue Mountains should be prepared for detours, as Bells Line of Road is closed due to fallen trees and power lines. Thankfully, trains across the city are running smoothly with no interruptions.
For those looking for something to do despite the rain, two standout events are highlighted: the Great Opera Hits concert at the Sydney Opera House and the Fashion Thrift Society Market at Sydney Olympic Park, offering vintage finds, live music, and even tarot readings.
Johnny wraps up with a reminder of the city's resilience and charm, encouraging listeners to enjoy the day's offerings come rain or shine.
