I am traveling along the beach line of israel from the north to the south and observe high clouds moving towards me from the right side. Where would I find the low pressure and high pressure in the South? Why?

  1. In the northerh hemisphere (where we are in the USA) and the wind is to our back,  low pressure will be to our back.   Below the equator (southern hemisphere) low pressure would be to the right.

    This is 'Buys Ballots Law'


  2. bearing in mind the Buys Ballot's law, in the Northern emisphere we have that "when standing with one's back to the wind, the area of low preassure is to one's left"

    working out the problem you will find the High preassure area just in fron of you and the Low preassure area behind you as you travel South.

    although this rule appers to be somewhat whimsical, it has definite practical application!
