Minister of Ecology Alexander Shadrikov congratulated the employees of the Hydrometeorological service
Dear meteorologists and all those who are somehow connected with the study of weather phenomena and atmospheric events!
I heartily congratulate you on your double professional holiday – World Meteorological Day and Day of employees of the hydrometeorological Service of Russia!
You have almost 200 years of experience in the development of the hydrometeorological industry of our country and hundreds of thousands of annual forecasts, but despite this, looking into the future for a week or a month ahead is responsible and hard work.
Every day we start with a weather forecast and make our plans based on your news, and these forecasts concern not only the weather. In aviation and shipping, railway and automotive industries, in construction and healthcare – meteorologists are the main assistants and the basis of achievements for all industries. You are able to predict the harvest, anticipate the level of rivers, predict and anticipate natural phenomena. All this allows you to save the most valuable thing – human lives.
Not only do you protect and warn, you also give positive emotions and excellent health and mood, because the research and forecasts of hydrometeorologists are especially important for weather-dependent people, their health.
Dear hydrometeorologists, as well as veterans who stood at the origins of the development of the service! On this professional holiday, I wish you only good weather, fresh wind, good changes, cloudless prospects, and that there are much more positives in life and work than negatives.
Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the
