Arab Weather - Dr. Ayman Ghulam, CEO of the National Center of Meteorology, revealed the climate forecast for this year's Hajj season, noting that the weather will be hot to extremely hot during the daytime, with maximum temperatures expected to range between 40 and 47 degrees Celsius, while minimum temperatures at night will range between 27 and 32 degrees Celsius.

He also pointed out the possibility of cumulonimbus clouds forming over some of the Taif highlands during the period from the 8th to the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah, and their effects may extend to the holy sites.

Dr. Ghulam added that active winds during certain periods may lead to the formation of dust clouds, especially in open areas, which could affect horizontal visibility.

He concluded his statement by stressing that the National Center of Meteorology will continue to issue updates and detailed information on the weather conditions in the holy sites over the coming days, to ensure the safety and comfort of pilgrims.
