Weather: The heart of Sydney is waking up to a fresh 22.2°C, climbing to a high of 29°C, with chances of showers and storms igniting the skyline. Those in Parramatta should carry their umbrellas, anticipating similar conditions. Beach lovers at Bondi Beach: expect a mix of rain and rays and don't forget your sunscreen when the sun decides to peek.
Traffic: If you're navigating the roads, watch out for a truck blockage causing a fuss on Pennant Hills Road in Thornleigh. Another lane is held up by a truck on Epping Road in Lane Cove, so anticipate some extra minutes added to your commute. Stay tuned for live updates to beat the traffic.
Trains: For those venturing by rail, please note that Lidcombe Station's platform 4 is getting a facelift with tactile surface installations until February 2nd. Follow the directions of the traffic controllers to ensure a smooth journey to your destination. And for the cricket enthusiasts, the Big Bash League is on tonight at the Sydney Showground, featuring Sydney Thunder vs. Melbourne Renegades at 7:15 pm. Remember that frequent trains will run from Lidcombe Station to keep sports fans moving.
