The present status of our knowledge concerning sporadic E in middle latitudes, wind‐shear theory of the formation of sporadic E , and wind systems in the ionospheric E region is briefly summarized. Then, possible correlations between sporadic E in middle latitudes and ionospheric current and wind systems estimated from geomagnetic variations are discussed from the point of view of the wind‐shear theory.
