Maracanaú forms the Ceará western Fortaleza metropolitan industrial zone, where native caatinga scrub, introduced urban trees, and restinga coastal scrub remnants are the main pollen sources. The dry tropical climate concentrates pollen production from July to January, while the wet season from February to May provides rainfall interruptions and coastal trade winds can periodically disperse pollen throughout this Fortaleza western industrial suburb.

Does pollen in Maracanaú come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Maracanaú based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Maracanaú, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
