"Climate change is significantly increasing heat exhaustion and stroke risks for Hajj pilgrims in Mecca. Average May temperatures in Mecca have risen by 3.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels. Over 1,300 pilgrims died during the 2024 Hajj, which coincided with a 51°C heatwave. Projections suggest 97% of future Hajj pilgrimages could face dangerous heat levels if global temperatures rise by 3°C."
