As part of the preparations to host FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, the Ministry of Transport Wednesday launched its brand-new website, fifaweather2022.com, developed by the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
HE the Minister of Transport Jassim Seif Ahmed al-Sulaiti launched the new website which will provide weather and climate information during November and December 2022 as a service for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 fans.
The new services are also available on the Q Weather App under the name 'FIFA 2022 Weather Conditions.'
HE al-Sulaiti said the initiative will provide comprehensive weather readings at the sites of the stadiums around-the-clock. The launch of the new website coincided with the World Meteorological Day, observed on March 23.
"This is an addition to a wide range of accomplishments by the civil aviation sector in Qatar, aiming at providing all the requirements for hosting such a global event, including the Mukaynis Meteorology Center, which significantly contributes to improving weather predictions by monitoring several elements of the weather that were not available before,” he said adding that Qatar is recognised by the World Meteorological Organisation for providing weather services via the Gulf Marine Center (GMC) – the only provider of marine predictions and which provides its services to all the Gulf region, Arabian Sea and Gulf of Eden.
When asked about the preparations for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, HE al-Sulaiti said that the Ministry of Transport has completed almost all of the projects and the rest are being implemented.
“Next month we will inaugurate the public transport terminals for electric buses while marking another milestone of Qatar’s journey in this sector. Also, a large number of electric buses will be used to transport fans during FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022,” he said.
The minister pointed out that 2,000 charging stations are being installed while making Qatar one of the most advanced countries in the world in this field. Qatar is the first country in the world with huge public transit services. These stations will be operational during June and July. Transferring about 20 to 25% of public transit to electricity was earlier announced. I would like to assure that the percentage of electric vehicles during World Cup will be much more than announced,” he said.
CAA's Meteorology Department director Abdulla al-Mannai said that the services of the new website, which have been added to the Q Weather App, will display the weather conditions monitored at the sites of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 stadiums via monitoring stations installed at each stadium to facilitate weather predictions.
The weather data provided by the Meteorology Department will be used to show the general weather predictions during the World Cup in November and December by indicating daily normals and diurnal temperature distribution on charts that are easy to read and understand.
