Siberian High and its teleconnection



The Siberian High (also Siberian Anticyclone) is a massive collection of cold or very cold dry air that accumulates on the northeastern part of Eurasian terrain. Usually, it is centred around Lake Baikal. The Siberian High is the strongest semipermanent high in the northern hemisphere and is responsible for both the lowest temperature in the Northern Hemisphere. Siberian High affects the weather patterns in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere: its influence extends as far west as the Italy and as far southeast as Malaysia, where it is a critical component of the northeast monsoon. Occasionally a strong Siberian High can bring unusually cold weather into the tropics as far southeast as the Philippines. It may block or reduce the size of low-pressure cells or cyclones and generate dry weather across much of the Asian landscape including India with the exception of regions such as Hokuriku and the Caspian Sea coast of Iran that receive orographic rainfall from the winds it generates.

[1] The easterly from SH is propagating equator ward  towards south.  

[2]  Tropical Easterly produce wave pattern and clouds form in crust.

[3] Due to southward propagation of wave pattern the clouding is shifted to south relatively.

[4] Already the cold is felt in Eastern coast. that is cold wind advection from SH.

[6] The expected land fall may start in the south to day late afternoon.
