What type of weather is generally associated with high pressure systems?

High pressure systems are typically associated with clear skies and calm weather due to the descending air that characterizes these systems. As air descends, it warms and becomes drier, leading to evaporation of moisture in the atmosphere. This process reduces cloud formation and precipitation, resulting in the stable weather conditions that high pressure systems are known for.

In contrast, other weather patterns such as stormy and unstable conditions or cloudy and rainy weather are more commonly linked to low pressure systems, which promote rising air and consequently more cloud cover and precipitation. Windy conditions with low temperatures can also be prevalent in various weather scenarios, but they are not characteristic of high pressure systems where calmer and clearer weather typically prevails.
