In the latest segment of the Wake Up Sydney podcast, host Johnny Rocket brings an energetic update on Sydney's weather, traffic, and trains for Monday, September 8th, 2025.
The city is enjoying a mostly sunny day with temperatures rising from 18 to 28 degrees, ideal for both city dwellers and beachgoers. However, commuters may face some delays due to trucks causing blockages: one on the M1 Pacific Motorway near Cowan, another on the M5 off-ramp to King Georges Road in Beverly Hills, and a third blocking the bus lane in Annandale.
Despite these road hiccups, Sydney's trains are running smoothly with no disruptions. Early risers enjoyed a total lunar eclipse at 4am, setting a magical tone for the day.
The podcast also highlights the vibrant Sydney Fringe Festival, which features over 400 events including theatre, comedy, and street festivals throughout the month.
Johnny signs off by celebrating the city's charms and reminding listeners of the joys of living in Sydney.
