<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - With expectations that the temperature rate during the Hajj season will rise above the normal rate, the Saudi Roads Authority has completed the technology of painting asphalt surfaces in the area surrounding Nimra Mosque with the aim of reducing the temperature and cooling the climate to moderate degrees.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Nimra Mosque, which is the second largest mosque in area in the Mecca region after the Grand Mosque, accommodates about 400,000 worshipers. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to the Sacred House pray the noon prayer and the afternoon prayer on the day of Arafat, in congregation and in short, in imitation of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace. The mosque is distinguished by the presence of 6 minarets, 60 meters high each, 3 domes and 10 main entrances containing 64 doors. The mosque was built in the location. In which the Messenger - peace and blessings be upon him - delivered a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> See also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D9%8A%... | Where do the stones thrown by pilgrims go?</a> </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><p lang="ar" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Part of the implementation of the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/%D8%AA%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AF_%D8%B7%D8%B1%... initiative in the area surrounding Nimra Mosque in Arafat. <a href="https://t.co/szZP8NfqVd">pic.twitter.com/szZP8NfqVd</a></p> - General Roads Authority (@RGAsaudi) <a href="https://twitter.com/RGAsaudi/status/1796100886470517236?ref_src=twsrc%5E... 30, 2024</a> </blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Modern climate cooling technology</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The modern technology implemented by the General Authority of Roads works to achieve complete comfort for the pilgrims by increasing the level of cooling in the climate surrounding them. White paint is used in this technique to reduce the surface temperature by about 20 degrees Celsius, using locally made materials that have the ability to absorb a smaller amount of solar rays.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The official spokesman for the Saudi Roads Authority, Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi, stated that the application of the technology to reduce the temperature of asphalt surfaces comes in partnership with a number of participating parties to serve the guests of God, with the aim of reducing temperatures. He added that this technology was tried last year in specific areas, such as the pedestrian roads leading to stoning pebbles in the holy sites, and it succeeded in reducing the temperature from 12 to 15 degrees Celsius. This year, the experiment was expanded to include the area surrounding Nimra Mosque, with an area of about 25 thousand square meters.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Al-Otaibi pointed out that the mechanism of cooling roads is carried out scientifically by reflecting the sun&#39;s rays and reducing temperatures during the day and night, as the product used seeks to provide more comfortable and easier environments in pedestrian areas, with the aim of creating a healthier environment and a better quality of life.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> See also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%83%D9%8A%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%A9-... to prevent sunstroke during Hajj?</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%87%D9%84-%D8%AA%D8%AE%D9%8A... you ever imagined someone swimming around the Kaaba?
