In an anticyclone air sinks it does
not rise, as it sinks it warms and
carries more water so that clouds an
drain does not form
The absence of fronts
mean that winds can
be very light.
Consequently, high
pressure areas are
often associated with
settled, dry, bright
conditions
In the Summer,
anticyclones bring hot,
dry weather. In winter,
clear skies may bring
cold conditions,
anticyclones may also
bring fog and mist. This
is because the cold
forces moisture in the air
to condense at low
altitudes
When the air sinks
as no clouds are
formed there is no
"cover" for the cold
that blankets the
country at night
