Polar Winds blow from the Polar High Pressure Belt towards the Sub Polar Low Pressure Belt between 60⁰N to 60⁰S. In the Northern Hemisphere, they blow from the north east and are known as The North East Polar Winds. In the Southern Hemisphere, they blow from the south east and are known as the South East Polar Winds.

Since they are deflected in the west in both the hemispheres due to the Coriolis effect, they are known as the Polar Easterlies.

These are the cold winds as they blow from the ice capped regions. However, they become warm when they blow over the oceans.
