Question

Polar Easterlies are cold and dry. Why it is so?

Answer 1

1. The polar easterlies are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the North and South poles towards low-pressure areas within the westerlies at high latitudes when air moves near the poles, cold temperatures shrink the air.
2. These are weak winds flowing from North east direction in the Northern Hemisphere and South east direction in the Southern Hemisphere.
