In this episode of Wake Up Sydney, host Johnny Rocket delivers the crucial Sunday morning rundown for January 18, 2026. For all you early risers and weekend enthusiasts, we'll ensure you stay informed with the latest on weather, traffic, and train services across Sydney.
Sydney is waking up to a wet day today, with temperatures climbing to a high of 24 degrees throughout the city. Expect similar weather in Parramatta and Bondi Beach, so keep those umbrellas handy!
On the roads, there's a truck breakdown on the M4 Motorway's eastbound off-ramp at South Wentworthville, causing some delays. Additionally, a fallen tree is impacting both directions on Putty Road near Wilberforce, so plan your journey accordingly.
Train commuters are facing notable disruptions, as services are suspended between Hornsby and Gosford due to flooding, leading to a necessary train-bus-train commute. The Lawson Street entrance at Redfern Station is also closed, and travelers are urged to find alternative routes.
Despite the rainy day, Sydney is buzzing with activities. Don't miss the final day of the United Cup tennis at Carriageworks, and explore over 130 events city-wide as part of the Sydney Festival. Many performances are free, so there's plenty to enjoy!
Johnny encourages listeners to embrace the rainy vibe and make the most of what Sydney has to offer. Tune in again tomorrow morning for more updates to keep you informed and inspired.
