Polar easterlies are named for their origin and direction. They are cold winds that blow from the polar regions towards lower latitudes, specifically from the east. The term "easterlies" refers to the easterly direction of these winds, while "polar" indicates their source in the polar areas. These winds play a significant role in global weather patterns and the climate of the regions they affect.
Because winds are named for where they come from, polar easterlies blow from the poles in the east out to the west.

Polar easterlies. They are cold, dry winds that blow from the polar high-pressure areas towards lower latitudes.
Polar easterlies
The polar front is located where the westerlies and the polar easterlies converge. The westerlies blow from the west to the east in the middle latitudes, while the polar easterlies blow from the east to the west closer to the poles. These two prevailing wind belts meeting at the polar front create unstable weather conditions and frequent storms.

No.
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.
It occurs both at the North and South Pole

The Polar Easterlies are dry prevailing winds that blow from high pressure areas in the north and south poles. These winds are also called Polar Hadley cells.
