Welcome to the latest episode of the Wake Up Sydney podcast, where host Johnny Rocket delivers a vibrant morning update perfect for Sydney's early risers. As you tune in on June 4, 2025, you’ll find the city experiencing some mood swings from Mother Nature. In the heart of the city, the CBD is balancing at a brisk 12.6 degrees Celsius, with peaks expected at 15 degrees. Showers are on the horizon, so don't forget to grab an umbrella before heading out. Out west in Parramatta, temperatures are slightly warmer, while Bondi Beach enjoys its usual ocean breeze alongside a similar chill.
Traffic-wise, there's a bit of a tangle on the Hume Highway in Yagoona due to an accident past Edgar Street. This is affecting lane 1 of 3 westbound, so do allow for some extra travel time. However, if you're traveling via train, there's some good news—Sydney's train network is operating smoothly, much to the delight of daily commuters.
Excitement is in the air with Vivid Sydney lighting up the nights until June 14th, transforming iconic locations such as Circular Quay and Darling Harbour into dazzling spectacles. Additionally, the Sydney Film Festival has kicked off, offering a range of diverse films at venues like the State Theatre, and running through June 15th.
Join Johnny Rocket as he encourages every listener to embrace Sydney's unique charm—from its scenic wet weather to the cultural events buzzing around the city. Make the most of your Wednesday and stay tuned for more lively updates tomorrow.
