South-east Queensland is in the grip of a significant heatwave this week, with high humidity making conditions very uncomfortable.
Sunshine Coast resident Sharon Carlyle is particularly struggling, having lost power, phone service and internet after severe weather earlier in the week.
Western temperatures should start to ease in Queensland, but the heatwave warning remains in the state’s east and interior.
