What are main features of Anticyclone?

Anticyclone is a region where the atmospheric pressure is high compared with that of adjacent areas, and that shows at least one closed Isobar. Mostly there is a series of closed concentric isobars, which are oval or circular in shape, resulting with the highest pressure at the centre. In the northern hemisphere the general wind circulation is clockwise round the anticyclone, while in the southern hemisphere it is anticlockwise. Near the centre the winds are mostly variable, light and calm, but increase in strength somewhat towards the anticyclone edge.
In the temporary anticyclones of temperate latitudes, the weather conditions are quiet characteristic, in contrast to the weather or Depression or cyclones. In summer, skies are often cloudless, and temperature, is relatively high, but in winter due to much radiation the lower layers of air become excessively cooled, and often results in fog. Such anticyclonic conditions can persist for a considerable period because anticyclones move at a slow pace and mostly remain stationary for several days. In addition to these temporary anticyclones, there are two great belts of permanent anticyclones, these are situated over the oceans at about 30° N and 30° S, which move slightly northwards and southwards and also extend and diminish with the seasons.
