What will the weather be like during the Qatar World Cup 2022?
The tournament is set to kick off in a few week's time
We are only a week away from the most engaging football competition, and the football world will assemble in a country adorned with their national flag or paintings to cherish their nation, as for the first time FIFA World Cup will be played in Qatar in November. It seemed odd that a football World Cup had never been held during winter season. Many worries were raised when FIFA announced Qatar as the hosting country, as Qatar is one of the Middle East countries that is extremely hot and humid in June and July, and European players have never played in such conditions.
Qatar is extremely hot during the summer, with temperatures reaching all-time highs of 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. This is why the World Cup was moved to winter when temperatures range between 20 and 21, which is close to what players in the northern hemisphere are familiar with.As previously stated, the summer months in Qatar would have been too hot for players to play the matches, exposing them to heat-related sickness.
Qatar's summer weather record is by far the worst; in 2010, the temperature hit 50.4 degrees Celsius; only 10 Asian countries have seen such inclement conditions; the last time weather reached that level was in same location, which was 49.6 degrees Celsius.
Qatar stadiums have attached air conditioners to prevent excessive heat.
Qatar has installed air conditioners inside all eight stadiums that will host the matches and keep the venues cool. Solar energy will assist and power grills in stands and nozzles on the pitch, which are designed to pull in bad air and clean it.
The project was assigned to Dr Saud Abdulaziz Abdul Ghani, a mechanical engineering professor at Qatar University. Finally, he stated, "We are not just cooling the air, we're cleaning it".
"We're purifying the air for spectators. For example. People who have allergies won't have problems inside our stadiums as we have the cleanest and purest air there is.
"Pre-cooled air comes in through grills built into the stands and large nozzles alongside the pitch. Using the air circulation technique, cooled air is then drawn back, re-cooled, filtered and pushed out where it is needed."
