Arab Weather - The holy sites and Medina witnessed extremely hot weather today, coinciding with the second day of Eid al-Adha, during which pilgrims continue performing their rituals, most notably the stoning of the Jamarat (stoning of the devil) at Mina.

 

According to the latest weather readings, high temperatures were recorded across the holy sites, reaching approximately 46 degrees Celsius in Arafat, while 44 degrees Celsius were recorded in Mecca, Mina, and Muzdalifah. The temperature in Medina also reached 44 degrees Celsius.

 

This rise in temperatures is the result of the region being affected by hot, dry air masses, amidst the hot and exhausting summer weather for pilgrims, given the physical activities required for the rituals.

 

Important recommendations for pilgrims:

  • Pilgrims are advised to avoid direct exposure to sunlight, especially during the midday hours, and to stay away from open areas as much as possible.
  • It is necessary to drink plenty of water and fluids to avoid sunstroke or heat exhaustion.
  • Use sun umbrellas and wear light cotton clothing.
