If I remember correctly, people are even dying in hotels because of insufficient cooling. So you would really need to upgrade the entire city’s infrastructure itself in order to accommodate the power needed for that (hopefully not by emitting more CO2).
I’m not saying it isn’t doable, but it’s a bigger project that you’re thinking.
Simply providing people water would go a very, very long way to helping, and is a change that could happen literally overnight- if someone cared enough. Like the people running the Masjid al-Haram that surrounds the Kaaba, or Makkah city officials….
Sure it would be expensive. But how much money do those entities (as well as the services that arrange pilgrimage stuff like a vacation,) make off the Hajj?
With people dying “even in hotels”, keep in mind that if you reduce the worst exposure (standing out in a crowded place in direct sun with no access to water…) then you can suddenly tolerate a more-but-not-as-bad exposure in the hotels.
I mean, it’s not like there’s no infrastructure there.
They could, probably easily provide everyone with adequate hydration and maybe put up some shade cover to mitigate the worst.
