About the terrace

According to the City of Stockholm, Kanvas holds a permit for a terrace of about 12 m² at Arsenalsgatan 3. The permit runs 14 April to 16 October 2025. The first permit in the city's register is from 2022.

Source: the City of Stockholm's register of street-space permits (open data). We calculate the sun where the permit says the tables stand.

Eftermiddagssol, according to Stoligt

Times look wrong, for example because the terrace is on the other side of the building? Fix the location in OpenStreetMap and Stoligt will follow at the next update.

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.
