What is Blanket of high pressure?

A blanket of high pressure is like a cozy blanket that keeps the air still and calm.

Imagine you're playing outside on a sunny day, and suddenly someone throws a big, warm blanket over your head. That’s what happens with a blanket of high pressure, it’s a huge area in the sky where the air is heavy and pushes down gently, making the weather nice and quiet.

Think of the air as something you can touch. When there's high pressure, it's like having lots of friends all standing on your back, pushing down softly. This makes the air move slowly or not at all, just like how you feel when you're sitting still under a warm blanket.

But when the blanket moves away or gets lighter, things can get more exciting, like when you take off the blanket and suddenly feel the wind on your face!
