Welcome to another energizing episode of Wake Up Sydney, where host Johnny Rocket brings you your comprehensive morning briefing for Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

The weather forecast today promises a bright and sunny day across Sydney with temperatures soaring up to a delightful 29 degrees. It's the perfect opportunity to hit the beach at Bondi and soak up some rays. However, if you’re in Parramatta, expect slightly warmer conditions, so remember to stay hydrated and enjoy the sun responsibly!

In today's traffic news, there’s a minor disruption due to a crash on Cowpasture Road, Cecil Hills, affecting northbound lanes. Commuters should allocate extra travel time and maintain patience. On a surprising yet positive note, train services are operating smoothly across all lines, offering a rare but welcome ease for Sydney's travelers.

Looking for something fun to do? Johnny highlights a few exciting events around the city. Experience the enchanting tale of "Hansel and Gretel" at the iconic Sydney Opera House, an event that’s perfect for the whole family. Alternatively, head over to Burwood Park for the free "Music and Markets in the Park" event complete with live music and diverse food stalls. It’s a perfect outing for enjoying Sydney’s vibrant culture.

Johnny concludes the episode with a gentle reminder to appreciate the beauty of the day and to spread kindness wherever you go. Don't forget to tune in tomorrow morning for more updates and insights into Sydney's daily hustle and bustle.
