Hajj 2026 weather update: Temperature in Makkah and Madina
According to BBC Weather, the temperature will exceed 42°C in Makkah during Hajj and Eid ul Azha.
However, in the city of Madina, the temperature can go up to 44°C during Hajj and Eid ul Azha days.
However, the people who are currently in Saudi Arabia for Hajj can expect more severe temperature depending on their area of the city.
In Pakistan, the upcoming week is also going to be hotter.
Amid the rising temperature in Pakistan, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) issued emergency protocols and placed hospitals on alert due to extreme, above-normal summer temperatures .
However, if you are dealing with a heatwave on your own, cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade, especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat, and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
If you feel unwell and have a high temperature during hot weather, see a doctor.
