The CEO of the National Center of Meteorology, Dr. Ayman bin Salem Ghulam, inaugurated an equipment package that provides high-accuracy meteorological information in Makkah Al-Mukarramah and the holy sites.
This came during an inspection tour conducted by the CEO of the center to the new automatic stations in the holy sites, the central area of the holy capital, and the Grand Mosque.
Ghulam inspected the most important new capabilities to support the center’s work for Hajj, which is based on the latest technologies and modern meteorological programs represented in our “observatories” at the Kingdom’s level, weather radars, satellites, and the Saudi numerical model.
This comes in addition to the manned observatories, mobile automatic stations in the holy sites, and the integrated operations room in Mina, which operates around the clock to achieve the highest levels of accuracy in the center’s expectations to serve the beneficiaries and pilgrims.
