The so-called Bermuda High which brings hazy, hot, and humid conditions to the eastern United States in summer is an example of this kind of high pressure system. When you have a high adjacent to a low pressure at the surface, air will move from the high to the low. This is a force we in meteorology call the coriolis force. The net result of all these forces is that air tends to blow clockwise and out from high pressure and counter-clockwise and in towards low pressure. The wind at the surface around both low and high pressure systems are shown in this actual map analysis.
Winds are usually strongest in the winter when high and low pressure systems are strongest.
When strong winds occur in summer, they are usually associated with tropical storms or are localized near thunderstorms. Winds tend to be stronger and gustier during the day than at night because the suns heating during the day causes vertical currents of air that can mix down higher speed air from aloft. During clear nights, the surface cools and the air becomes more stable. The air becomes more sluggish and steady near the ground. Aside from the damage that strong winds can do, the winds play a number of important roles in our weather.
