Do you feel that sweet, sweet relief? Brisbane is expecting a chilly 31 degrees and 80 per cent humidity as the city rejoices in a brief gap between heatwaves.

Enjoy the "little bit of a break" while it lasts because Monday and Tuesday are as cool as it's going to get before another heatwave blankets south-east Queensland from Wednesday.

A particularly humid hot stretch baked the region for much of last week and the weekend before storms dumping heavy rain cooled things down Sunday afternoon, but only a little bit.

Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast are still predicted to reach 31 degrees on Monday, with the Gold Coast only one degree cooler and Ipswich getting to 32.
