Detailed explanation-1: -A high pressure system is associated with cooler temperatures and clear skies. A low pressure system is associated with warmer weather, storms or precipitation.

Detailed explanation-2: -High-pressure system High-pressure systems are frequently associated with light winds at the surface and subsidence through the lower portion of the troposphere. In general, subsidence will dry out an air mass by adiabatic or compressional heating. Thus, high pressure typically brings clear skies.

Detailed explanation-3: -A low-pressure system usually brings cool dry air and clear skies, while a high-pressure system brings clouds and precipitation.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, in summer, high pressure tends to bring fine, warm weather. However, in winter a high pressure system will be associated with cold and dry days and frost.
