Sunny terraces on the Essinge islands

The Essinge islands are quiet islands in Lake Mälaren with only a few terraces, most of them near the water.

We have calculated the sun for 8 terraces on the Essinge islands. On a clear day in June, 5 of them have sun after 7 pm and are open then, and 4 have sun all through lunch. The longest evening sun is at ST Thai Food Restaurang, until 21:30.

How Stoligt works it out

Every ten minutes we draw a line from each terrace toward the sun and check whether a building or hill is tall enough to block it. Building heights come from OpenStreetMap and ground heights from Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping agency. The times assume a clear day, so clouds are not included here. They are on the live map, which shows today's weather.

Trees, parasols and awnings are not in the model, and we don't know exactly where on the pavement the tables stand. Treat the times as an educated guess, often accurate to within ten minutes.
