Subtropical high. Subtropical high, one of several regions of semipermanent high atmospheric pressure located over the oceans between 20° and 40° of latitude in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres of the Earth.
Likewise, how do subtropical high pressure cells influence weather and climate of South Africa?
Develop during summer and winter in SA. These low pressure sytems cause complete different weather on either side of the pressure cell. The air moves in a clockwise direction around the cell. On the one side of the pressure cell, air will move from the land to the sea and will cause warmer drier conditions.
