High pressure center
An anticyclone is a region of high atmospheric pressure relative to the surrounding air.
A high-pressure system.
This is known as an anticyclone. In an anticyclone, the air descends, causing high pressure at the surface. The sinking air diverges at the surface, creating stable and clear weather conditions.

An anticyclone is a high-pressure weather system that typically brings clear skies and fair weather. For example: "The anticyclone sitting over the region brought days of sunshine and warm temperatures."
A region of high atmospheric pressure.
An anticyclone
An anticyclone is characterized by high atmospheric pressure at its center compared to the surrounding air pressure. In an anticyclone, the pressure in the middle is higher than the pressure in the surrounding areas, leading to descending air that typically results in clear skies and stable weather conditions. This contrasts with a cyclone, where the central pressure is lower, causing air to rise and often resulting in stormy weather.
