Generally speaking, in the Northern Hemisphere, when winds are blowing from between SE and SW the barometric reading __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Northern Hemisphere wind circulation around low and high pressure systems • Relationship between wind direction and pressure tendency • Typical weather associated with southerly vs. northerly winds in mid-latitudes

💭 Think About

• In the Northern Hemisphere, when winds are from between SE and SW, are you more likely to be on the warm side or cold side of a weather system? • Around a low-pressure system, how does air circulate, and which side tends to produce southerly winds? • Compare the usual barometric pressure when a low is influencing your area versus when a high is dominating with winds from a northern quadrant.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how cyclonic (low-pressure) circulation works in the Northern Hemisphere (counterclockwise). • Check what type of system (high or low) most often produces southerly winds (SE–SW) in mid-latitudes. • Compare the typical pressure values and trends under a high-pressure area versus a low-pressure area before choosing your answer.
