Azores High

Azores high, also called Bermuda high, Azores anticyclone, or Bermuda-Azores high, large persistent atmospheric high-pressure centre that develops over the subtropical region of the eastern North Atlantic Ocean during the winter and spring seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. It is a subtropical high-pressure cell that moves westward during the summer and fall, when it is known as the Bermuda high. The Bermuda high is often associated with warm humid weather in the eastern United States during the summer months.
