kõrgrõhualadega

Kõrgrõhualadega, also known as high-pressure areas or anticyclones, are atmospheric regions characterized by higher atmospheric pressure at the surface and in the lower atmosphere compared to their surrounding areas. These systems are typically associated with stable weather conditions. Air within a high-pressure system sinks, or subsides, from the upper atmosphere towards the surface. As this air sinks, it warms and dries, which inhibits cloud formation and precipitation. Consequently, areas under the influence of high pressure often experience clear skies, sunshine, and calm or light winds.

The circulation of air around a high-pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere is clockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it is counterclockwise. This rotational movement is due to the Coriolis effect. High-pressure systems can vary in size and intensity, and they tend to move relatively slowly across the Earth's surface. They can persist for several days, bringing periods of settled weather. Conversely, their departure often signals a change towards less stable conditions. Meteorologists track the movement and development of these systems to forecast weather patterns.
