In this essential episode of 'Wake Up Sydney,' host Johnny Rocket brings you all the latest news on the current weather, ongoing traffic situations, and train conditions affecting your daily commute around Sydney.

The city is experiencing a cool spell with temperatures oscillating between 12.9°C in the city center to slightly lower in the suburbs. With persistent rain showers across Sydney, Johnny highlights the need for everyone to keep an umbrella handy to deal with the high humidity and sporadic rainfall.

Today's traffic report includes various disruptions:

• A severe car crash on Hoxton Park Road has led to blockages in the eastward lanes. Commuters should consider alternative routes.
• The M1 Pacific Motorway near Berowale is also seeing major congestion due to an accident, with advised detours through Pacific Highway.
• In addition, a substantial traffic jam in the Sydney CBD, particularly on the Western Distributor, following a collision between a truck and a car, has compounded delays.

Frequent rains have rendered train platforms slippery, urging extra caution for commuters. Modifications to the public transport services include:

• Bus replacements are operating near Newcastle in lieu of trains due to police activity.
• Delays of up to half an hour are expected on the Central Coast & Newcastle Line owing to flooding at Cockle Creek.
