{wiki=Azores_High}
The Azores High, also known as the Azores Anticyclone, is a large area of high atmospheric pressure located over the North Atlantic Ocean, near the Azores islands (a group of islands that are part of Portugal). It is a semi-permanent feature that forms primarily because of the warming of the ocean surface and the resulting atmospheric circulation patterns.
