What is "solfilmen"

The Solfilmen is a weather program, broadcast on 21:24 UTC+1 every Friday on SVT2 (as a part of the news program Aktuellt) from the first Friday after Kiruna's first sunrise of the year to Midsummer. It shows the sunrise and sunset times for Lund, Stockholm (abbreviated as Sthlm in the Solfilmen), Lycksele, and Kiruna.

The Solfilmen was started in March 1963 in Black-and-White format and stopped broadcasting in Midsummer 1963. However, it restarted in January 1969 in color format. At first, it monitored sunrise and sunset times for Stockholm, Lund and Luleå.

SVT stopped monitoring sunrise and sunset times for Luleå and started monitoring sunrise and sunset times for Kiruna.

In 2008, SVT started to monitor sunrise and sunset times for Lycksele.
