Anticyclone: This is characterized by high pressure centre in which wind blows in clockwise manner in northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere. The anti- cyclones develop in sub-tropical and temperate regions. Absent in equatorial region. They are generally known as weather less phenomenon. Other characteristics of anticyclones are:

1. Air pressure decreases outward from the Centre.

2. They are much larger in size as compared to cyclones.

3. Move very slowly with average velocity of 30-40 km/hr.

4. These are characterized by divergence of winds. While cyclones are result of convergence of winds

Indicative of clear weather and decrease in wind velocity in area of their arrival.
