São José de Ribamar occupies the São Luís eastern metropolitan coast in Maranhão, where native Atlantic Forest remnants, restinga coastal scrub, and mangrove vegetation are the main pollen sources. The wet season from December to June provides the most frequent rainfall interruptions, while the dry season concentrates pollen dispersal and the coastal position means trade winds frequently disperse pollen throughout this São Luís eastern metropolitan municipality.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in São José de Ribamar 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 São José de Ribamar, 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.
