contents Using the harmonic superspace approach we construct the superconformal harmonic action for $\mathcal{N}=2$ Weyl supermultiplet.

An important role is played by the ``half-analyticity'' conditions introduced in arxiv:2407.08524 [hep-th]. The structure of the harmonic linearized $\mathcal{N}=2$ Weyl action to large extent repeats the structure of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ Maxwell action, which suggests a conjecture on the possible structure of the complete nonlinear $\mathcal{N}=2$ Weyl theory action in the harmonic superspace. We also provide a detailed study of the rigid superconformal properties of the proposed action and prove its invariance in both harmonic and chiral superspaces.
