Observations of the weather on the territory of our country began in the middle of the 19th century, at meteorological stations: Kazalinsk in 1848, Semipalatinsk in 1854, Irgiz and Kyzyl-Orda in 1856, in Alma-Ata and Uralsk in 1859. By the beginning of the 20th century, 28 weather stations were already operating. In January 1922, the meteorological bureau of the Main Physical Observatory at Kirnarkomzeme was established in Orenburg. It is from this event that the history of modern Kazhydromet begins.

So, young Kazakhstanis saw historical instruments and their modern analogues, got acquainted with the principle of operation of such processes as meteorological monitoring and weather forecasting.
