anticyclone

• high pressure

  air masses are pushing on the ground creating high pressure
• wind travels in a clockwise direction.
• wind speeds are low

  the isobars are farther apart.
• fog develops in winter

  the cool ground causes moisture in the air to cool and condense at ground level.
• no fronts develop

  air is falling so no clouds are formed (one air mass)
• no rain at all 


  there is no rain because there is no fronts
• low temperatures in winter 


  polar continental air in winter meaning there is no cloud cover
• high temperatures in summer

  tropical continental air in summer meaning there is cloud cover to block the sun
