Why is the World Cup in November this year?
The World Cup is typically held during the summer months, but this year it falls much later in the year. The decision to push the tournament was made due to the extremely high temperatures usually seen in the host nation, Qatar, during the summer.
The average temperature in Qatar, The Sporting News reported, is 76 degrees. In June, the average is 96 degrees.
