An anticyclone is a high-pressure system that rotates clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Dry air flows from the center of the anticyclone, which is known as the "subsidence zone," towards areas of lower pressure. In this case, the Siberian high is a high-pressure system and dry air flows from it towards areas of lower pressure.
