The results of a study of the frequency of occurrence of intense fluxes of electrons above the level of the polar rain at geomagnetic latitudes of 85 deg or higher are presented. The dependence of the occurrence and intensity of these 'polar showers' on the orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), the solar wind velocity and density, and the level of activity as measured by K(p) is shown. It is concluded that the occurrence of these events is strongly tied to the sign of the B(z) component of the IMF. The occurrence is independent of the B(y) component and at best has a weak B(x) dependence. The occurrence of flux enhancements is independent of number density or velocity of the solar wind, and is strongly skewed toward low K(p), but more than 30 percent of the cases at each level of K(p) up to K(p) = 4 show fluxes above 85 deg.
