    Example Word

    高気圧: high pressure. The Japanese noun '高気圧 (こうきあつ)' refers to 'high atmospheric pressure'. It is commonly used in weather forecasts and discussions about meteorology. High-pressure systems are often associated with clear skies and stable weather conditions. For example: Today's weather is influenced by high pressure「今日の天気は高気圧に影響されています」(きょうのてんきはこうきあつにえいきょうされています). High pressure brings sunny weather「高気圧は晴れをもたらします」(こうきあつははれをもたらします). This term is essential for understanding weather patterns and forecasts in Japanese.
