Haj 1446H marks final summer Haj until 2050s, says Saudi National Centre for Meteorology
MINA: Spokesperson for the Saudi National Centre for Meteorology (NCM), Hussein Al-Qahtani stated that this year’s Haj season, 1446 AH, marks the end of Haj’s association with the summer months.
Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that Al-Qahtani noted that the next eight Haj seasons will occur during spring, followed by eight more in winter, then in autumn with gradually rising temperatures, before returning to summer after approximately 25 years.
The NCM spokesperson explained that this shift is due to the lunar calendar cycle, which offers pilgrims the opportunity to perform Haj rituals in more moderate weather conditions during the coming years. – Bernama/SPA
