Aracaju's air quality benefits from consistent Atlantic trade winds off the Sergipe coast that provide reliable ventilation across this compact northeastern Brazilian coastal capital. Vehicle emissions from the growing metropolitan area are the primary local source, while the coastal position and consistent onshore winds keep Aracaju's readings among the more favourable for major northeastern Brazilian cities throughout the year.
