Siberia high
The Siberia high is a relatively stationary cold high above Siberia or Mongolia , which is formed due to low humidity .
The air is increasingly cooling over the snow-covered areas of the continent, with a body of cold air forming beneath warmer air masses . Since cold air is denser than warm, the body of cold air lingers on the ground, which increases the air pressure . Its main activity reaches its high from October to April. When the west drift weakens in winter , offshoots of the high prefer to migrate to Eastern Europe (then one speaks of Russia high or Eastern Europe high ) and literally bring " Siberian coldness " to Central and Southern Europe . Northern Europe is warming up due to the warm, moderate winds on the west side of the highs . The Siberia / Russia high is one of the fundamental centers of action in European weather events.
