🔍 Key Concepts

• Northern Hemisphere high pressure systems – wind flows clockwise and outward around the center • Buys Ballot’s Law – with your back to the wind in the Northern Hemisphere, the center of low pressure is to your left and high pressure to your right • Typical weather and wind associated with high pressure (anticyclones): sky conditions, moisture, and wind strength

💭 Think About

• Picture a map with a high pressure center north of you in the Northern Hemisphere. In which direction does the wind circulate around that high? • From your position south of the high, if winds circulate clockwise and outward, what approximate compass direction would the wind come from at your location? • Think about the usual weather in the fair side of a high: are conditions normally hot and moist, or cooler/drier with clearer skies?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the circulation direction around a high pressure in the Northern Hemisphere (clockwise vs counterclockwise) • Check from which compass quadrant (N, E, S, W and combinations) the wind would blow at a point south of the high center • Confirm the typical weather under a high pressure system: cloud cover, precipitation, and humidity characteristics
