Sunny north and cloudy south as Super El Niño defines South American winter

In a new weekly update for pv magazine , Solcast, a DNV company, reports that Super El Niño drove a sharp north–south irradiance divide across South America in winter 2026, with sunnier conditions in the north and persistent cloud reducing solar irradiance across much of the south. Two rare August snowstorms in Chile’s Atacama Desert also caused likely snow-related losses for solar PV assets, alongside severe rainfall, flooding, and mudslides.
