Depends where you are in the country but can get over 50 deg C and that was 30 years ago. In Kuwait it used to be that when it got over 47 deg C I think it was Government offices were excused work, of course it never got to this level officialy even though it did. The Rub Al Kali ( the Empty Quarter ) probably the hottest place on earth, forget Death Valley that's just fiction.Places like Asir Province in the mountainous southwest it rarely gets to 40 DEG C but you are at 2000 m plus altitude. It's hot and Humid on the Red Sea and Gulf coasts and Hot and Dry inland. In winter it can go below 0 deg C or just above at night time.

Complicated stuff, a little outside my ability to comprehend properly, and a conspiracy theory can always say for instance that the numbers are modified, that there is no global warming.
There has also been a lot of construction there over the last few decades, lots of concrete, make the place into a heat sink, so I would expect due to that temps have gone up there...Only muslims are allowed there in Mecca, by the way, as an aside.

Also the Islamic calendar is based on the Lunar months so the months for pilgrimage change every year relative to the Julian calendar. It would be pointless dolng a year on year comparison of deaths at the Hajj even if those figures were available in Saudi, one of the most tightly controlled countries in the world

LARGE M7.2 EARTHQUAKE STRIKES SOUTH AMERICA - NEW SEISMIC SPREAD UNDERWAY | DUTCHSINSE
June 28, 2024, a large M7.2 Earthquake struck below South Peru in South America. This new large earthquake is the first M7+ earthquake for the whole planet since the West Pacific unrest about 2 months ago. Additionally, this new M7.2 earthquake is the largest for South America in many months, and the largest of the year for Peru (so far up until the end of June). Keep watch for a new spread to take place possibly as a result of the compensation movement. Watch the West Pacific by Solomon Islands for an additional similar sized event in the near-term.
