What changed
Brazil's INMET issued a red, highest-danger thunderstorm warning for November 7 covering western and southwestern Paraná, central and western Santa Catarina, and northwestern Rio Grande do Sul.
Does this affect me?
Travelers driving, taking intercity buses or planning outdoor excursions in the warned parts of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul face a significant severe-thunderstorm threat. INMET identifies cities including Foz do Iguaçu, Cascavel, Chapecó and Erechim within the red-warning area. Thunderstorms and possible hail may make road journeys and exposed activities unsafe. No specific highway or airport closure is established by this warning.
What should I do?
Check INMET's current warnings before traveling on November 7. Reconsider exposed outdoor activities and delay road journeys when severe thunderstorms threaten or develop. Check transport operators for specific service changes rather than assuming a closure.
