Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -High pressure often means dry weather with sunshine. Low pressure often means clouds and precipitation. High pressure is associated with sinking air.

Detailed explanation-2: -Low pressure means that there isn’t enough force, or pressure, to push clouds or storms away. Low-pressure systems are associated with cloudy, rainy, or windy weather.

Detailed explanation-3: -Depression (low pressure) As it rises and cools, water vapour condenses to form clouds and perhaps precipitation. This is why the weather in a depression is often unsettled, there are usually weather fronts associated with depressions.

Detailed explanation-4: -A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.
