Saudi Arabia Prepares for Another Hajj of ‘Extreme Heat’

The deaths of 1,300 pilgrims during last year’s hajj in Saudi Arabia highlight the urgent need for better heat mitigation and crowd management, analysts say.

With Mecca’s temperatures reaching 51.8°C (125°F) during the pilgrimage, most fatalities were linked to heat, especially among pilgrims without official permits who lacked access to amenities like air-conditioned tents.

Diplomats confirmed the majority of deaths were heat-related, emphasizing the challenge as 2024 became the hottest year on record. Experts suggest Saudi authorities are likely focusing on reducing unpermitted entries this year, alongside exploring long-term solutions like wearable heat sensors.
