polar winds
Cold northern breezes
Polar winds are cold air currents that flow from the Arctic and Antarctic regions toward lower latitudes.
These winds form as frigid air masses at the poles sink and move outward, bringing sharp temperature drops and harsh weather conditions.
Polar winds swept down from the north, plunging temperatures below zero.
