A high pressure system is a region where the atmospheric pressure is greater than the surrounding area. In some countries, these regions may be referred to as anticyclones. A high pressure system is an area of relative pressure maximum that has diverging winds and a rotation opposite to the earth's rotation. This is clockwise the in Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
