Can someone explain in laymans terms why windspeed is greater round a high than a low pressure? Happy with PGF and Coriolis but don't understand the centrifugal/centripetal bit!

Cheers

Because it isn't.

Cyclones & typhoons are associated with low presure systems after all.

Maybe I've misunderstood the question.
