Prospective Indonesian pilgrims are asked to be aware of the hot weather in Saudi Arabia by preparing to carry equipment such as umbrellas, black glasses, drinking bottles, and medicines.

On Tuesday at 10.00 Saudi Arabia's weather time in Medina reached 34 degrees Celsius and a few days earlier the weather could reach 39 degrees Celsius.

From noon to evening it reached above 41 degrees to 42 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, at night, the air temperature drops to 30 to 35 degrees Celsius.

Based on observations on weather sites, estimates that in the next week the temperature in Saudi Arabia will be the same, namely during the day, the temperature is estimated to reach 42 degrees Celsius.

Secretary of the Saudi Arabian PPIH Officer Daker Medina Abdillah said the difference in air temperature needs to be watched out for because in the country, air temperatures rarely touch 40 degrees or more.

"Congregants must be vigilant, continuous sun exposure will burn the skin and feel on the skin, and become dehydrated," said Abdillah.

A number of tips from the Hajj administrators (PPIH) for the pilgrims during their activities in Medina.

In addition to wearing sunscreen creams, pilgrims are advised to bring drinking bottles that can be filled withzamzam water from the Prophet's Mosque in Medina or at the Grand Mosque while in Mecca.

Although not hungry, he continued, pilgrims are reminded to drink at least every half an hour and the congregation should also bring a water spray for occasionally sprayed into the face.

Unlike Indonesia, the air in Saudi Arabia, including in Medina, has low humidity. As a result, skin and lips dry easily. If left unchecked, it can cause itching and cracked lips.

For this reason, equipment that is no less important for the congregation is lip batches or lip softeners and body lotions that contain ultraviolet light retaining substances.
