Paramedics urge people to stay hydrated, look out for others as Queensland swelters through heatwave conditions

A heatwave warning has been issued for large parts of eastern Queensland, with sweltering conditions expected for at least the rest of the week.

Overnight, Redcliffe had the highest minimum in the south-east of the state with 25.8 degrees, while many Brisbanites would have slept uncomfortably with a minimum of 24.9C.

While the temperature in Brisbane may reach 31 degrees today, it's expected to hit 34C on Friday and Saturday, with overnight minimums in the mid-20s.
