anticyclonic
Fair weather rotation
Anticyclonic describes weather systems or wind patterns associated with an anticyclone—a high-pressure area where air circulates outward and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern.
Anticyclonic conditions typically bring clear skies and calm weather: An anticyclonic system settled over the region, bringing a week of sunshine.
