Published 13.07.2022 Earlier, RSE "Kazhydromet" reported in the media and on social pages that the condition of the office space of the meteorological station "Zhanatas" in 2021 was assessed as emergency. Based on the results of a commission inspection in February 2022, it was decided to move it to a new location, and it is impractical to repair the building.
Together with the Akimat of Zhanatas, a new land plot has been selected to accommodate a meteorological station and a mobile block module for station employees. The new block module is ready for transfer, the decision of the land commission is expected.
