Examples include Hartmut, which brought a blizzard to the British Isles in 2018, as well as persistent anticyclonic storms on Jupiter and Neptune.
Anticyclonic storms at the synoptic scale usually form around high-pressure systems where air moves apart and sinks.
[3] Anticyclonic storms, as high-pressure systems, usually bring warm, clear conditions in the summer.
Occasionally, this can result in heat wave conditions and droughts if the anticyclone remains stationary over a certain region of land.
Supercells are long-lasting and rotating convective storms that are formed when thunderstorms are accompanied by strong vertical wind shear.
