Alexander Shadrikov congratulated employees of hydrometeorological services on their professional holiday
Dear employees of the hydrometeorological services!
For more than 190 years, Russian meteorologists have been looking into the future every day in order to protect the interests of state security and the economy in the present. Your work is not just about numbers, graphs, and forecasts. It is your data and analytics that should help people feel confident in a world where nature sometimes presents surprises.
Each of your forecasts is not just information, it is a hope for agriculture, aviation, shipping and land transport. Every day, the result of your work helps millions of people in our country make decisions and take care of their own health.
The work of all spheres of life support in the republic and the well-being of our Volga–Kama Cascade, the country's largest transport and energy system, directly depend on the accuracy of meteorological forecasts.
The willingness to act at the right time, promptly take measures to eliminate negative environmental impacts, predict and propose optimal options – these are the tasks that cannot be accomplished without accurate meteorological analyses, calculations and research.
I congratulate all employees of the meteorological services on their professional holiday and wish them new successes, accurate forecasts, good health and all the best!
