Most pilgrims were elders, who have a history of chronic diseases and they find it difficult to cope with the heat exhaustion in the high temperature in desert land. In recent years, the haj, which follows the lunar calendar, has fallen in the Saudi summer, at a time when global warming is making the desert climate even hotter.
