NCM Issues Over 59,000 Weather Bulletins to Support Air Navigation, Safety During Hajj
The National Center for Meteorology (NCM) announced that it issued and transmitted more than 59,000 meteorological reports and data entries during the 1446 Hajj season. These efforts were aimed at supporting air navigation and ensuring flight safety by providing accurate, timely information to relevant authorities.
As part of its broader operations during the pilgrimage, NCM also issued over 39,000 weather bulletins to assist agencies responsible for crowd management and pilgrim services. These measures were designed to help maintain a safe and stable environment throughout the holy sites.
In addition to its operational activities, the center conducted three specialized field research studies involving more than 25 researchers and experts. The studies focused on monitoring microclimate variations, advancing forecasting technologies, and evaluating the environmental and public health impacts of weather conditions in the holy areas. Artificial intelligence was also utilized to enhance the accuracy of numerical weather models.
These initiatives were carried out under a comprehensive operational plan developed in coordination with various authorities. The plan also included public awareness campaigns and field outreach programs at the Grand Mosque, the holy sites, and Haramain High-Speed Railway stations, supported by NCM’s partners across several service sectors.
NCM reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring public safety through high standards of quality and integration, in line with the Kingdom’s leadership vision and the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
