Why Good Weather Occurs in High Pressure Area and Bad Weather in Low Pressure Area?

A high-pressure area is where the atmospheric pressure higher with respect to its surroundings. Air descends from the troposphere in its core. The descending air is warmed by compression, causing cloud water vaporize to water vapor thus frequently giving good weather. A low-pressure area is where the atmospheric pressure lower with respect to its surroundings. The air flows inwards from the surroundings and causing vertical motion, as a result the water vapor in the air condense and forms cloud which frequently gives rain. Therefore, bad weather generally occurs in low-pressure area.
