Description
Chasing the sun in Helsinki? Sunspot shows, in real time, which terraces are sunny right now — and when the sun will reach the ones that aren't yet. No more guessing whether a terrace is in the sun or in the shade.
The app computes the sun's elevation and the shadows cast by surrounding buildings, terrace by terrace, so at a glance you can see where to head for a coffee or a beer. A sunny terrace, found in seconds.
FEATURES
Live sun map — each terrace's sunshine, as a percentage, right now
Timeline — scrub forward and see where the sun will be later today
Nearest terraces — sorted by distance from your location
Walking directions to the terrace you pick
Favourites and alerts — save a terrace and get notified the moment the sun reaches it
Filter by category — restaurant, café, pub, bar
HOW IT WORKS
Sunspot combines the sun's position (time, date, latitude and longitude) with the heights of the city's buildings to compute shadows. The higher the sun and the more open the terrace, the higher its sunshine percentage. Every terrace on the map, in one view.
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone looking for a sunny terrace in Helsinki right now — a lunch break, afterwork, or a weekend coffee.
