There was heavy rain today in Makkah today as pilgrims dared the weather to perform their Umrah rites. This is the first day the international Umrah pilgrims will be donning the ihram from the Miqaat at Taim to perform the lesser hajj. They have been under three-day quarantine in their various hotels which lapsed Wednesday.

The heavy rainfall created a fog around the holy Kaaba where circumbulation is taking place bring the temperature down by a few notches.
