Short summary
Extreme value analysis has been applied to 1-minute-resolution magnetic fields and computed electric fields over Europe. We find that on average the largest disturbances of the fields are observed close to the auroral oval, as expected. However, the analysis indicates that as we move south from Scandinavia to northern continental Europe the distribution becomes more extreme. This could be due to that strong storms regularly occur at high latitudes, while the extreme storms push the oval south.
