In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that a fading La Niña and ENSO transition led to widespread above-normal solar irradiance across Southeast Asia, especially mainland regions where persistent heat, low humidity, and clear skies drove record sunshine in places like Bangkok. Japan and South Korea saw mixed, storm-influenced conditions with near-normal or slightly below irradiance, while southern China stayed generally sunnier except the Yangtze Delta, where heavy cloud and rain reduced solar output by about 10%.
