Weather is defined as the air condition on earth at a given place and time usually hours or days. It is basically influenced by heat from the sun and water. Weather is affected by Pressure in the air. The pressure could be either low or high pressure systems. High pressure areas are always shown by the H symbols. In this case the air pressure is greater than the surrounding areas. This results in wind. Since air is denser than the surrounding regions then the air will move to the low pressure areas. On the other hand, Low pressure areas are denoted by the symbol L. As winds blow into the low pressure areas, the air rises and this leads to the formation of precipitation and clouds.
The centre of the system is located at the point marked by a circle on the map just close to the northern side. This is due to the isobars which are close together around this region. The air is travelling in both clockwise that is from the southern hemisphere and also in a counter clock wise direction that is the air from the Northern hemisphere. When they meet, they form the dense concentration of isobars.
The region is a high pressure system since most of the winds blow at a speed of 10 meters per second and below. Winds basically move from regions of h...
