SURABAYA - Chairman of the Organizing Committee for Hajj (PPIH) Surabaya Embarkation Akhmad Sruji Bahtiar appealed to all pilgrims to be aware of extreme hot weather while in Medina, Saudi Arabia.
The afternoon temperature in Medina is estimated to reach 36 degrees C to 41 degrees C so that pilgrims are reminded to maintain fluid intake in order to avoid dehydration and physical fatigue.
"We urge the congregation to drink water more often, includingzamz water, so that the body condition is maintained," said Akhmad in Surabaya, Monday, May 5.
He also reminded the congregation not to force themselves to worship beyond their ability while in Medina. The reason is that the peak of the pilgrimage will take place in Makkah City, which requires more stamina.
In addition to the 2025 pilgrims who are already in Medina, the appeal is also addressed to pilgrims who are still in the country, especially those who have not arrived at the Surabaya Hajj Dormitory. They are asked not to forage energy and maintain health, so that they are ready to undergo a series of worships in the holy land.
In the 2025 Hajj season, Surabaya's embarkation scheduled the departure of 36,845 pilgrims, which are divided into 97 groups. Apart from East Java, this embarkation also dispatched pilgrims from NTT and Bali.

Before leaving for Saudi Arabia, all pilgrims underwent a one-day quarantine at the Surabaya Hajj Dormitory. During the quarantine period, they will receive a medical examination, as well as receive passports, identity bracelets, and living costs (locks during the hajj).
PPIH hopes that the pilgrims of the 2025 Hajj candidates can maintain their health and stamina, so that the entire series of Hajj services runs smoothly and optimally.
