Kako piše The Guardian, dim je nebo nad Aucklandom na Novom Zelandu obojio u narandžastu boju, ali nebo iznad centralnog dijela Čilea je postalo sivo. WMO je navela u izvještajima kako je zalazak sunca u argentinskom glavnom gradu Buenos Airesu bio crven.
Chile dawned cloudy, but not because of the weather but because of the smoke from the fires in Australia. Smoke is a threat to the Ice Fields of the Argentine Patagonia. The smoke is coming to South America.

Smeđe naslage čađi zabilježene su na ledenjacima na Novom Zelandu i potencijalno ubrzavaju brzinu kojom se tope.
