In the latest episode of Wake Up Sydney, host Johnny Rocket kicks off your Friday morning with a lively update on Sydney's weather, traffic, and train services for May 23rd, 2025.
The CBD is experiencing a gloomy forecast with rain and potential thunderstorms, while similar wet conditions extend to Parramatta and Bondi. Despite today's dreary weather, a sunny weekend awaits with temperatures in the low twenties.
Traffic across Sydney is fraught with incidents, including a collision in Mascot causing road closures, a multi-vehicle crash on the M5 in Casula turning it into a gridlock, and a dramatic truck collision in Greystanes shutting down Butu Wargun Drive. Additionally, a crash has disrupted access to the M2 Motorway in West Pennant Hills.
On the train front, commuters face challenges with replacement buses running between Morisset and Newcastle due to flooding, and suspended services on the Blue Mountains Line between Springwood and Lawson due to freight train issues.
On the brighter side, Johnny reminds listeners about exciting events in Sydney, including the kickoff of Vivid Sydney, the ongoing Sydney Writers Festival, and a unique Candlelight Tribute to Metallica. Despite the rain and transport woes, Sydney brims with cultural delights, proving it's still one of the most spectacular cities on the planet.
