Since 2022, a page has been created on the official website of RSE "Kazhydromet", where the weather forecast for points popular among tourists is displayed https://www.kazhydromet.kz/ru/weather/touristic_city/13/0
At the moment, forecasting by points of tourist zones is carried out in eight regions: Almaty, Akmola, East Kazakhstan, Karaganda, Pavlodar, Turkestan and Mangystau.

This model can be global, covering the entire Earth, or local, covering a separate section of the planet. The forecast reflects data for each point for the next 3-7 days, these are air temperature, wind strength, precipitation and atmospheric pressure.
