SunnyDrinks
Find a terrace in the sun.
Over 2,000 Amsterdam terraces with real sun and shade, calculated from the height of every building. Right now, later today or tomorrow.
Sun where you are, not just sun in the sky
Weather apps tell you it's sunny. SunnyDrinks tells you which terrace actually gets that sun, and for how long.
Real shadows
For every terrace we calculated the skyline from the 3D BAG: the lidar-measured height of every building in the Netherlands.
Sunny near you

Slide through today and tomorrow to see when the sun reaches your favourite spot.
Clouds included
An hourly cloud forecast tells you when the sun is likely to hide.
Private by design
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your location never leaves your phone.
A quick look
Yellow means sun, grey means shade. That's really all there is to it.
How it works
No guesswork: geometry, open data and the position of the sun.
Every licensed terrace
The City of Amsterdam publishes the exact outline of every permitted terrace. We sample a few points on each one.
The skyline around it
From each point we trace the surrounding buildings in every direction, using measured building heights.
Where the sun is
Every five minutes we check whether the sun is above that skyline. If it is, the terrace is in the sun.
