Sun worshippers rejoice! We're reporting a gorgeous sunny day ahead with temperatures soaring up to 29 degrees in the CBD, and equally splendid conditions in Parramatta and Bondi Beach. It’s the perfect scenario for hitting the sands – just don’t forget that sunscreen as you soak up the vibes and the waves!

In traffic news, today’s commute might test your patience a bit. Johnny discusses key disruptions: a major truck crash on Old Northern Road at Wisemans Ferry has closed both lanes, and we reiterate exploring alternatives like Wisemans Ferry Rd or the M1 to avoid delays. Also, watch out for accidents on Epping Road in North Ryde and the M5 in Moorebank, as well as vehicle breakdowns on Woodville Road and near the Bondi Randwick exit on the Eastern Distributor.

For the train commuters, take note: there’s a snag with the power supply at Carlton station impacting Opal card services. If you’ve been affected, make sure to follow up with Transport for NSW to sort out fare adjustments.

Despite the delays and incidents, the spirit of Sydney prevails. Stay tuned to "Wake Up Sydney" and let Johnny Rocket keep your mornings lively, informed, and legendary. Surf the waves or surf the traffic, either way, we’ve got your back! Tune in every weekday for your latest Sydney scoop!
