Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • The Australian High, also known as the Great Australian Bight High or Southern Australian High, is a large semi-permanent high pressure area or subtropical anticyclone that stretches from the Great Australian Bight in Western Australia and South Australia to the southern Victorian coastline on Bass Strait and the east coast of Tasmania, between 30 and 40 degrees of south latitude. In summer, it typically sits over southern Australia on the Bight, right below the coastline, where it generally provides dry weather in the proximate region. In winter it normally moves north, therefore permitting cold fronts and low pressure systems to relocate up from the Great Australian Bight and bring rainfall to most parts of southern Australia. Whilst it primarily occurs and remains more stationary in the warm season (Nov-Apr), it can intermittently make an appearance over the Bight in the cool season as well. (en)
