Question 1299Navigation General

The correct answer is B) south to east. When the center of a high pressure system is due east of your position in the Northern Hemisphere, the winds will generally flow in a counter-clockwise direction around the high pressure system. This means that the winds will be coming from the south to the east relative to your position. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) north to west would be the wind direction if the high pressure system was to the west, C) north to east would be the wind direction if the high pressure system was to the north, and D) south to west would be the wind direction if the high pressure system was to the southwest of your position.
