A polar low is a type of small, intense, cyclonic storm that occurs in polar and subpolar regions, typically over the ocean. These weather systems are characterized by low pressure, strong winds, and often significant precipitation, usually in the form of snow or rain. Polar lows can develop quickly and are most commonly found in areas such as the Arctic, Antarctic, and the surrounding seas during the winter months when the temperature contrasts between the cold land or sea ice and relatively warmer ocean waters are greatest.
