The paper presents the results of the analysis of changes in Earth’s solar climate over the period from 1900 to 2100. It has been determined that the annual meridional gradient of irradiation intensity from 1900 to 2100 and latitudinal differences in the Earth irradiation intensity increase. A relative increase in winter irradiation intensity for the hemispheres is observed in the regions where extratropical cyclones develop, which may contribute to the activation of cyclonic processes in the atmosphere in the winter half-year. In the Northern Hemisphere, seasonal differences in the irradiation intensity increase during the period of interest, whereas in the Southern Hemisphere they smooth out. Meridional contrasts in irradiation in the summer half-year increase in the Southern and Northern hemispheres; in the winter half-year in the Northern Hemisphere, meridional contrasts in irradiation decrease; in the Southern Hemisphere, they increase. Insolation seasonality increases slightly in the Northern Hemisphere and increases in the Southern Hemisphere. The transfer of radiative heat from the summer Southern Hemisphere to the winter Northern Hemisphere prevails. There is, however, a tendency for it to decrease.
