Stable weather and high temperatures on Thursday in Mecca and Medina

Arab Weather - The latest weather analysis from the Arab Weather Center indicates that the weather will remain completely stable on Thursday in both Makkah and Madinah. This is due to the region being affected by a high pressure system that is keeping the weather free of weather influences such as rain or strong winds.

During the daytime, the weather is expected to be generally hot, with maximum temperatures in Mecca and Medina reaching around 40 degrees Celsius, particularly during the midday and afternoon hours, which are the peak of solar radiation. This requires avoiding direct sun exposure for extended periods, especially for the elderly and sick.

At night, the weather tends to be moderate, with temperatures dropping to around 25 degrees Celsius, providing a more comfortable atmosphere for performing religious rituals and moving around at night.

Under these circumstances, pilgrims are advised to follow general safety guidelines, including drinking plenty of fluids, wearing sun hats, and using umbrellas during daytime travel, as well as taking breaks during the rituals to avoid heat exhaustion and sunstroke.
