Best Answer

Polar easterlies are winds that move in near the north and south poles at 60 to 90 degrees (north or south). They are next to the prevailing westerlies. The polar easterlies are cold and windy, while the prevailing westerlies are hot and dry. The rotation of the Earth and the Sun's heat causes Polar easterlies.
