• Abstract:This paper is devoted to the analysis of air temperature and humidity changes during the two solar eclipses of 26 December 2019 and 21 June 2020 in Saudi Arabia based on data collected from two different sites. The study highlights the complex response of relative humidity compared with temperature during eclipses. While no significant atmospheric response was detected during the December annular eclipse at sunrise,the June partial eclipse produced a clear temperature decrease of 3.2 °C in Riyadh,accompanied by oscillations in relative humidity and vapor pressure with a time lag of about 15 minutes. The work further provides a comprehensive review of terrestrial atmospheric parameters in desert environments in the context of eclipse meteorology and compares these results with observations from other arid regions.
