Explained in plain English
How does air move?
Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, creating wind. Think of it like a balloon: when you release the air, it rushes out to an area of lower pressure. This movement is key to understanding how weather systems, like the high pressure bringing milder UK weather, develop and shift across the country.
