MINA— Hussein Al-Qahtani, spokesman of the National Center for Meteorology (NCM), stated that this year’s Hajj season marks the end of the Hajj season coinciding with the summer months.

He noted that the next eight Hajj 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 cited that this shift is due to the lunar calendar cycle, which offers pilgrims the opportunity to perform Hajj rituals in more moderate weather conditions during the coming years.
