T Tauri-type stars are characterized by the fast irregular variability. It is possible to select several components in brightness variations: slow components with timescales of years and fast ones with timescales of days and tens of days. Besides, up to 1 mag flares in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum occur during some nights. The overall change of the brightness may reach 2-3 mag.
