The event of the May 17th, 2012 was associated with the only GLE, up to now, of cycle 24, and measurements from the global network of neutron monitors are shown. Different recorded enhancements from different stations are due both to the specific geomagnetic cutoff rigidities and to the anisotropy proper to the GLE 71.
