October peak, the humidity and air temperature rise. With high temperatures reaching 31°C (87.8°F) on average, sun protection becomes essential. The city's weather in November captures the essence of a tropical spring transitioning into a heated summer.
Temperature
The onset of November in Foz do Iguaçu,
Brazil, marks an average high-temperature of a hot 31°C (87.8°F), hardly differing from October's 28.8°C (83.8°F). A dramatic downturn marks the November nights in Foz do Iguaçu, with lows averaging at an enjoyable 16.5°C (61.7°F).
Heat index
The heat index in November is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Adopt all essential precautions. Preventing sun harm is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation. Sunscreen with a sun protection factor of no less than 30 should be used liberally and reapplied frequently on overcast days, including after every swim or outdoor activity.
