  3. A region of relatively high atmospheric pressure thousands of kilometres in diameter. appear on weather charts as a series of concentric, widely spaced isobars of 1000 mbs and above. clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and anticlockwise in the Southern also known as a high. Anticyclone

  4. NORTHERN HEMISPHERE

  5. Weather in Anticyclones • Varies from place to place

  6. also known as continental highs Siberia and north-west Canada in winter Cool air Weather in Cold anticyclones

  7. stable atmospheric conditions, and thus, fine, hot, dry weather. Strongest at 32° N and S. Weather in Subtropical anticyclones
