Starting with the weather: Johnny reports from Observatory Hill in central Sydney, where temperatures began at a brisk 8.8 degrees Celsius, intensified by a wind chill that made it feel closer to 4.6 degrees. However, the day is expected to warm up to a pleasant 18 degrees under clear skies. Meanwhile, in Parramatta, conditions were similarly cold with a bit of cloud cover, and over at Bondi Beach, visitors started their day with slightly warmer air at 11.5 degrees.
In traffic news, Johnny brought attention to a significant disruption on the M4 Motorway near Prospect, where a four-car accident has led to heavy congestion. Travelers heading eastbound can expect reduced speeds limited to 40km/h around the affected area.
On the public transport front, Johnny had good news: all Sydney train lines are operating smoothly today, ensuring a hassle-free morning commute for rail users.
