Probably yes, but heads up: the Iguaçu River is high. In strong floods, sections of the walkways or the Devil's Throat may close for safety. Confirm with the official source before going.
3.846 m³/s is 2.6 times the 1,500 m³/s historical average, a genuinely full river. What changes for you: much louder roar and heavier spray (bring a poncho or embrace getting wet on the boardwalk), more dramatic photos, and brown, latte-colored water, that's sediment from rain in the basin, not "dirt". Important: a flood like this does NOT close the park.

Closures are rare and almost always due to a strong Iguaçu River flood, which shuts walkways or the Devil's Throat for safety. Rain does not close them, it just makes the falls fuller and full of rainbows.
We don't assert it's open: the park decides. Use the official channels.
The parks on both sides open every day of the year. They only close sections during a strong Iguaçu River flood, see the live river level on this page and confirm with the official source.
No. In the rain they stay open and get even prettier, with more water and more rainbows. Only a strong river flood shuts sections.
The Devil's Throat (Argentine side) is the first to close in a flood. Check the river level here and confirm on the official Iguazú Argentina site before going.
