Fantastic: this website shows you all day long which terrace you can sit on in the sun
The reason why Dutch people have trust issues? Because Buienradar keeps surprising us. Not a drop to be seen on the app, and yet we end up soaking wet. And when the weather is beautiful, how can you be sure that you’ll be sitting in full sun on the terrace? There’s a solution that will restore your trust in no time: the website zonopjebakkes.nl.
Believe us, it’s everything you need this summer. Because nothing is more depressing than heading confidently to your sunny spot on the terrace, only to discover that you have to sit shivering in the shade. No, we’ve spent long enough in an autumn depression. Having drinks with our faces in the sun—that’s what we want.
Sunny terrace
Zonopjebakkes.nl has linked all kinds of datasets and used them to develop an algorithm. Sounds complicated, but what that algorithm ultimately does is more interesting: checking which Dutch terraces are in the sun. Ideal! Good to know: the site does not yet take the shade from trees or passing clouds into account. So there may be a little shade during your terrace visit. But that’s okay. Just reserve a spot far away from that big tree and ignore the clouds.
Terrace tips
