The polar easterlies (also known as the Polar Hadley cells) are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from both poles.
Polar winds. If they come from both directions at the same time they are known as Bi-polar winds.
Global Winds.

North of the 30th parallel, prevailing winds blow from the south-west. South of the 30th parallel, prevailing winds blow from the north-east.
South winds come from the south, or in other words, they blow in a direction from south to north.
The prevailing surface winds at about 15 degrees north and south latitudes are called the trade winds. In the northern hemisphere, they blow from the northeast, while in the southern hemisphere, they blow from the southeast. These steady winds are caused by the Earth's rotation and pressure differences between equatorial regions and higher latitudes.
