Azat Ziganshin congratulated employees of hydrometeorological services on their professional holiday
Dear employees of the hydrometeorological service! Dear industry veterans!
Please accept my most sincere congratulations on your professional holiday – World Meteorological Day and Workers' Day of the Hydrometeorological Service of Russia!
For almost two centuries now, Russian meteorologists have been looking into the future every day to protect the present. Your work is much more than just numbers on monitors and lines on graphs. This is the foundation on which the country's security and the work of all spheres of life support are built.
Every morning millions of people start with your forecast. It is on him that pilots and ship captains, railway workers and farmers, builders and doctors rely. The well-being of the largest transport and energy systems, such as our Volga-Kama Cascade, and the lives of ordinary people who make their plans based on your data depend on the accuracy of your calculations. You don't just warn about the vagaries of nature — you help save resources, prevent disasters and save the most valuable thing — human lives.
Your willingness to act promptly, make the right decisions and make accurate forecasts even in the most difficult conditions deserves deep respect. Thank you for this hard but important work!
On this festive day, I sincerely wish you always accurate forecasts and cloudless skies above your head. I wish you and your loved ones good health and well-being, new successes and achievements! Happy holidays!
Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan
