The artificial cloud will act as a massive sun shade.
Qatar scientists have designed an artificial cloud which could be used to hover over stadia when the Gulf state hosts the 2022 World Cup.
The cloud, which has been designed at Qatar University, could be the solution to the summer heat at the 2022 World Cup.
The cloud, manufactured from light carbon materials and helium gas and costing $500,000, can be held in place by solar power and moved by remote control, reports in the UK media said.

Great idea but will not overcome the problem of humidity. Also, when viewing the video, there will be the problem of shadow of the revolving fan blades playing over the pitch and causing distraction. Yes, in real life there are clouds drifting across the sun and creating shadows but regular fast moving shadows of the fan blades will be disconcerting.

Marvellous idea.
It is good to put humidity concern also.
