In zones where air descends back to the surface, the air is more dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of high atmospheric pressure. Since winds blow from areas ofhigh pressureto areas oflow pressure, winds spiral outward away from the high pressure. The Coriolis Effect deflects air toward the right in the northern hemisphere and creates a general clockwise rotation around the high pressure center. In the Southern Hemisphere the effect is just the opposite, and winds circulate in a counterclockwise rotation about the high pressure center. Such winds circulating around a high pressure center are calledanticyclonic windsand around a low pressure area they are calledcyclonic winds.
High pressure areas
Yes, winds always blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
No, not really. Winds tend to blow out of the High pressure areas to low pressure areas. This causes the clouds to follow the winds and that is the reason why you would expect a nice sunny weather when a high pressure area moves over you.
Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally. Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally.
Winds rotate clockwise about a high pressure system if it is in the northern hemisphere. If the system is in the southern nehmisphere the winds will rotate counterclockwise.

Wind is created by air pressure, there's a law in meteorology, winds will usually blow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. That's what this question would be asking for.
pressure gradient forces high in low pressure areas?
Winds are produced when there is a difference in atmospheric pressure. Air moves from areas of high pressure in the atmosphere to areas of low pressure. This movement of air is experienced as wind.
From areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Hope this helps! :)

High pressure systems and high anticyclone regions produce the strongest winds. This is because the pressure gradients are much larger in these areas.
Only subtropical high pressure is affected by coriolis force whereas upper air winds (jetstreams) are not affected.
High Pressure Areas has little to none winds at all, but to give you some idea, the air in the High Pressure Area literally flow outward due to high density air near the center and friction to the land. Unlike storms, High Pressure Are releases winds outward on a clockwise rotation. Comparing it to magnet, High Pressure Area winds flow to Low Pressure Areas. It's due to unlike densities of the air masses. High Pressure Area contains drier and cooler so it will flow to Low Pressure Area where warmer and more moist.
