The impact of 26 December 2019 annular solar eclipse (ASE) on meteorological conditions over the southeastern Arabian Peninsula is investigated. Observations sourced from the spinning enhanced visible and infrared imager (SEVIRI) and vertical temperature profiles measured by a microwave radiometer were used. The ASE, which began at 03:36:37.9 Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), that is, 31 m 29.9 s after sunrise, left a significant imprint on the land surface temperature (LST). In particular, in some regions, the LST dropped by more than 4 • C, in comparison to the previous day. In situ soil properties, in particular soil texture, were also found to have modulated the effects of the ASE, with loamy soils experiencing higher heating/cooling rates than sandy soils. Finally, the analysis of atmospheric profiles indicated that the eclipse influenced the flow throughout the atmospheric boundary layer, with a stable layer that was 45-min longer and 90-m deeper compared with the preceding day.
