      Direct sun on each spot between sunrise and sunset on the chosen date.

      Is it sunny right now?

      Report what you can see from the garden. Each report is compared with what the model predicted for that moment, which is how we find out where it is wrong.

            Shown dotted in purple on the map. It isn't used for the sun figures until you approve it: check it against the height map first.

            Garden outline

            Can't make out the garden? Draw it in OpenStreetMap

            OpenStreetMap's editor has sharp aerial photos you're allowed to trace. Outlines you add there show up in Sun Miguel automatically after the nightly update, and help every map that uses OpenStreetMap.

            1. Open the editor below and sign in (a free OpenStreetMap account). If it doesn't open at this pub after signing in, come back and press the button again.
            2. Esri World Imagery should already be the background; if not, press B and choose it.
            3. Draw an Area around where people sit and choose Outdoor Seating Area.
            4. Only map what's really there, then Save.

            You're drawing on the height map: dark edges are real walls and building sides, measured from the air. Trace along those. The satellite photo is switched off while you draw because photos lean buildings sideways (and its licence doesn't allow tracing); it comes back when you save.

            You're drawing on the satellite photo. Photos lean tall buildings sideways, so roof edges can sit a metre or two from the walls: turn on Show heights to check your edges against where the walls really are.

            Leave blank to use the height the LiDAR measured under the outline.

            Fix the surroundings

            The height data comes from 2016–2022 surveys. If a tree has been felled, grown or cut back, or a building or wall is missing or wrong, draw a correction. It applies to every garden nearby.

              Shut down for good?

              Sun Miguel shows which pub gardens are in the sun. You can switch city any time from the top of the map.

              Which city or town should we add?

              We add places where most people ask for them first.
