"Extreme weather includes unusual, severe or unseasonal weather; weather at the extremes of the historical distribution—the range that has been seen in the past. Often, extreme events are based on a location's recorded weather history and defined as lying in the most unusual ten percent."
An anticyclone is just winds flowing counterclockwise around a low pressure area. Most of the time, it's not extreme.
