Welcome to "Wake Up Sydney," where your effervescent host Johnny Rocket jump-starts your morning with the latest updates every Sydneysider needs before stepping out of the door.
In today’s episode, Johnny brings you the lowdown on the weather conditions for Tuesday, February 6th, 2024. Sydney's CBD will be comfortable, floating around 22 degrees, however, grab your umbrellas as showers and strong winds are predicted. Parramatta residents should also anticipate rain and windy weather, whereas Bondi Beachgoers might enjoy a break with some intermittent sunshine, albeit accompanied by a cool sea breeze. Make sure to dress accordingly and steel yourself for an invigorating day ahead!
When it comes to traffic, the situation is less breezy. Expect significant delays with a collision on the Princes Highway causing a major jam, and similarly frustrating traffic on the M5 near Hammondville and Prestons. An incident near Moorebank Avenue’s off-ramp is also leading to congestion, and if you’re planning to pass through King Georges Road, watch out for a truck blockage. Those heading towards the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, be prepared to tap the brakes due to a car and truck incident, and take note of delays on the M4 past Merrylands and towards the M5 at Liverpool. Plan your route in advance to avoid any potential hold-ups.
For train commuters, Johnny notes that train services have their share of hiccups this morning. Equipment issues at Sefton are disrupting T2 and T3 lines, so those traveling from Liverpool to the city may need to consider alternative routes. Moreover, power issues at Campbelltown are causing a 30-minute delay on the airport line - don't miss your flight, leave a bit earlier!
Despite these challenges, Johnny's contagious optimism is a reminder to take on the day ahead with a positive outlook. Enjoy the hustle and bustle of our dazzling city and stay tuned for more delightful anecdotes, tunes, and chitchat on tomorrow's show!
