In the latest episode of "Wake Up Sydney," host Johnny Rocket invites listeners to embrace a vibrant Thursday morning on May 22nd, 2025. With his signature energy, Johnny provides an all-encompassing roundup of the day's weather, traffic, and events that will set your day in motion.
Kickstarting with the weather, Sydney greets residents with mild temperatures peaking at a comfortable 20 degrees. However, keep those umbrellas handy as rain is expected throughout the day across key areas including the CBD, Parramatta, and Bondi.
In terms of traffic, Sydneysiders should be prepared for some challenges. Incidents on the M4, Campbelltown Road, and M1 threaten to complicate commutes, and there's a full road closure on Mid Dural Road due to a fallen tree. Despite these hurdles, there's a silver lining: all Sydney train lines are running smoothly without any delays.
Tonight marks the start of the much-anticipated Vivid Sydney festival, launching with a dazzling display across iconic landmarks like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. This event promises to illuminate the city until June 14th. Not to be overshadowed, the Sydney Writers' Festival continues to captivate literary enthusiasts at various venues.
Wrapping up with his trademark humor and positivity, Johnny encourages Sydney-siders to embrace the city's rainy charm and vibrant happenings. Tune in to "Wake Up Sydney" for the perfect start to your day!
