Question

Singularities pertaining to the recurrence of anticyclonic weather are associated with which area of the globe?

A.

South Asia

B.

North America

C.

Britain

D.

Australia

Correct option is C

Anticyclonic weather refers to high-pressure systems that bring clear skies, dry conditions, and stable weather.
In Britain, recurring anticyclonic conditions are observed due to the influence of the Azores High and continental high-pressure systems.
These high-pressure systems lead to prolonged dry spells, heatwaves in summer, and cold, frosty weather in winter.
Britain experiences seasonal weather singularities, such as winter blocking highs, which disrupt normal westerly airflows.
Information Booster:
  1. Characterized by descending air, low humidity, and clear skies.
  2. Causes heatwaves in summer and cold spells in winter.
  3. Leads to fog formation in winter due to temperature inversion
  4. Affected by high-pressure systems from the Azores and Siberia.
  5. Experiences frequent blocking highs, leading to stagnation of weather patterns.
  6. Anticyclonic conditions can cause frost, fog, and droughts.
