High / low are average daily temperatures (°C). “Feels” reflects how hot or cold it feels, allowing for humidity.
Gran Asunción & Central Lowlands
Late-summer humidity remains high and storms continue to be common, though some days clear to blistering sun. Asunción’s midday temperatures still hover in the low 30s°C, and the riverside beaches around Chaco’i fill with locals on hot afternoons. Sightseeing is easiest early or late in the day; pack quick-dry clothing and a sturdy umbrella, and be prepared for occasional taxi delays when streets are slick from sudden showers.
Alto Paraná & Ciudad del Este Corridor
Late-January and continuing into February see the wet season at its most active, with powerful convectional storms providing heavy rain and occasional lightning. Waterfalls on nearby tributaries and the Paraná River swell; boat excursions can be postponed by sudden squalls. Travelers should schedule outdoor visits to Itaipú early and bring waterproof gear, since afternoon storms are the norm.
Southern Paraná & Itapúa (Encarnación, Jesuit Missions)
February remains warm and humid with frequent showers that can interrupt carnival festivities in Encarnación - a lively month for culture if you don’t mind occasional storms. Temperatures stay around the high 20s to low 30s°C; the Jesuit Mission ruins near Trinidad are lush but paths may be muddy after rain. Book accommodation for carnival weeks well in advance and plan outdoor activities for mornings when skies are calmer.
Northern & Central Paraguayan Chaco (Filadelfia, Boquerón)
February continues as a scorcher, with intense sun and sporadic convective storms that can transform dusty tracks into muddy traps in low-lying areas. Filadelfia and Boquerón experience the strongest heat; the region’s Mennonite towns welcome visitors in cooler morning hours. Prepare for insect activity near standing water, and allow extra travel time if showers briefly wash out tracks.
Southwestern Chaco & Pantanal Fringe (Bahía Negra, Defensores del Chaco edge)
February continues to deliver hot, wet conditions with intense afternoon storms that feed the region’s extensive seasonal wetlands; water levels rise rapidly. Bahía Negra and surrounding esteros bustle with aquatic birdlife and large mammals that gather where water remains. Travellers should expect occasional cancellations of remote transfers and plan for flexible itineraries during stormy stretches.
