The type of weather brought about by an anticyclone depends on its origin.

A strong and stationary anticyclone can effectively block the path of an extratropical cyclone.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The resulting weather system is called an anticyclone.

- (meteorology) winds spiraling outward from a high pressure center; circling clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern
- (anticyclonic) of or relating to or characteristic of the atmosphere around a high pressure center
- A system of winds that spiral out from a centre of high pressure
- Also known as 'ridge' or 'high pressure', a clockwise rotating area of air that tends to denote good weather. It is the opposite of cyclone.
- High pressure systems are areas, or closed systems, of high pressure and are also known as ridges and anti-cyclones. High pressure systems are associated with clockwise rotating air, in which at the surface the air moves away from the center, and toward the center at high levels. ...
- A stable, generally subsiding air mass producing high pressure, warming conditions. The resultant fall in relative humidity leads to clear skies.
- High pressure system in which air descends to give calm conditions and clear skies. Associated with summer heatwaves and winter frosts and fogs.
- Any high pressure system. In NH, wind blow out of anticyclone clockwise. (Anticyclone)
- A large weather system characterised by high pressures, generally mild clockwise winds and often clear skies. In summer, they are usually associated with hot weather and, in winter, rather cold night-time temperatures.
