So, under an anti-cyclone, there is no or hardly any shear.

In the tropics there are 2 types of convection:

1) TC based which needs little to no shear to flourish.

2) MCS based which is driven by shear.  This is like the type of thuderstorms that pop up along a front.  They usually dont last more than 12 hours.
