From a total catalogue of 479 2RE sources, 31 have been found to be variable. All the variable sources are optically identified, with a breakdown by source type as follows: cataclysmic variables 9, late-type (F-M) stars 18, the high-mass X-ray binary Her X-1, the eclipsing binaries Algol and V471 Tau, and the active galaxy Mkn 478. The most highly variable objects in the EUV band are cataclysmic variables. The survey was sensitive to timescales from ~ 1.5 h to ~ 5 d, and observed variability ranges from flare-like events lasting < 1.5 h to irregular and periodic flux changes over ~ 0.5–2 d. With the exception of the cataclysmic variables, and possibly a few late-type dK-dMe stars with large flares, the observed variability levels should not substantially affect EUV luminosity functions
