Boilerplate

Sunspot (sunspot.fi) is a free Helsinki web service that shows in real time which of the city’s terraces are in the sun. The service computes the movement of the sun and shadows from the real 3D geometry of the buildings, and local users confirm conditions on the spot. Sunspot works in the browser and as an Android app, in Finnish and English.
