On June 30, Belhydromet hosted a working visit from a delegation of the National Meteorological Office of Algeria, as well as representatives of PJSC "NPO Almaz" named after Academician A.A. Raspletin and LLC "Institute of Radar Meteorology." The Belarusian side was represented at the meeting by Tatsiana Chаtyrka, First Deputy Head of Belhydromet, together with Belhydromet staff. Additionally, the event was attended by Dmitry Melekh, Deputy Head of the Department for Regulation of Impacts on Atmospheric Air, Climate Change and Expertise of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Belarus. At the beginning of her speech, Tatsiana Chаtyrka emphasized: Belarus, Algeria, and Russia are united by a high level of political dialogue, and we are ready to contribute to the development of multilateral cooperation and share our experience in the field of meteorology. The First Deputy Head of Belhydromet familiarized the foreign colleagues with all areas of Belhydromet's activities, the structure and modern capabilities of the Belarusian observation network, as well as the use of radar data in the operational work of the hydrometeorological service specialists of the Republic of Belarus, and the software products used for their processing and analysis. For reference. Belhydromet places special emphasis on the quality and accuracy of data. Over the past several years, the observation network has undergone large-scale modernization. Today, the network of surface meteorological stations is fully automated and comprises 73 stations, 9 of which operate in the city of Minsk. In addition, in 2025, 8 automatic precipitation sensors were installed in regional centers and Minsk to improve local monitoring and minimize the risks of flooding caused by heavy rainfall in large cities. Alexander Lyalyushkin, Deputy Director for Meteorological Radar at LLC "Institute of Radar Meteorology," demonstrated to the guests the main technical capabilities of the digital platform "MeteoCube," including new tools for visualizing meteorological parameters. For reference. In order to improve the data exchange system for meteorological radar observations between Belhydromet and Roshydromet, a data transmission scheme has been developed. Special software has been created to collect, process, and prepare combined radar maps using information from Russian and Belarusian DMRL (Doppler Meteorological Radar Locators). As a result, a unified radar field of the two countries is generated in near-real-time mode (updated once every 10 minutes) on a common cartographic basis. In turn, the representatives of the Algerian delegation spoke about the structure of the National Meteorological Office of Algeria, its main areas of activity, and the software products developed and used by them. As noted by Director General Ihadaden Brahim and Operations Director Said Ahmed Hammadi, their service issues daily, weekly, and seasonal forecasts that serve as a basis for planning in agriculture, construction, and other sectors. Special attention is given to the hazardous weather warning system: depending on the threat level, a yellow, orange, or red risk level is declared, and information is promptly disseminated through the media, radio, SMS, and broadcast in real time via the Internet, which allows for effective delivery to consumers and minimization of possible economic losses. Also, Igor Birulya, Head of the Communications and Telecommunications Service, demonstrated the functional capabilities of the Belhydromet meteorological data collection and processing center. The meeting with the Algerian and Russian colleagues took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Today, July 1, as part of the business program, the guests, together with Evgeny Maevsky, Chief Engineer of Belhydromet, and Andrey Petrochenko, Head of the Aviation Meteorological Support Service, will visit the DMRL Minsk, located near Minsk National Airport.

At the beginning of June, a decline in water levels prevailed on the rivers. Rainfall at the end of the first ten-day period caused water levels to rise on most rivers across the country, as a result of which, on the Viliya near the agrotown of Sheshitsy, the Iput River near the town of Dobrush (a tributary of the Sozh), the Sushanka River near the village of Susha (a tributary of the Berezina), and the Sluch River near the village of Klepchany (a tributary of the Pripyat), water remained on the floodplain for a short period. From the end of the second ten-day period through the end of the month, a decline in water levels was observed on the rivers, and navigation conditions deteriorated on the navigable sections of the Dnieper, the Berezina near Bobruisk, and the Sozh near Gomel. The minimum water levels in June were below the historical minima for this month in the lower reaches of the Neman, its tributary the Shchara, the Mukhavets River (a tributary of the Western Bug), in the upper reaches of the Pripyat, as well as its tributaries the Pina, Yaselda, and Horyn. The water content of the Western Dvina and the Pripyat is half the usual for this time of year; that of the Neman, Viliya, Dnieper, Berezina, and Sozh is close to normal and somewhat below it. Currently, a decline in water levels is observed on the rivers. Unfavorable conditions for river transport operation are observed on the navigable sections of the Neman, the Dnieper, the Sozh, and the Berezina near Bobruisk. Forecast information on minimum water levels in July Minimum water levels on the rivers in July are expected to be below the long-term average values, and in the Pripyat and the lower reaches of the Neman – below the historical minima for this month. On the Western Dvina near Vitebsk, the Berezina near Svetlogorsk, and the navigable sections of the Pripyat, conditions for river transport operation will deteriorate.

Today, June 29, representatives of Belhydromet, as part of the delegation of the Pervomaisky District of Minsk, took part in the significant patriotic event "Calendar of Memory. Book of Memory," held at Victory Square . The event became a symbol of deep respect for the heroic past and a tribute to the memory of those who fell during the Great Patriotic War. The participants of the event gathered at the Victory Monument to honor the feat of the defenders of the Fatherland. As a sign of eternal gratitude and sorrow for the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of their homeland, a minute of silence was observed. Afterward, flowers were laid at the foot of the monument. The turning of the page of the symbolic "Calendar of Memory" became the key moment of the event. Each date in it is not just a number, but a chronicle of courage, irreplaceable losses, and unyielding will to victory. Special attention was paid to the key events of 1944: – June 25, 1944 – the 1,100th day of the war and the third day of the legendary Operation Bagration, which marked the beginning of the large-scale liberation of Belarus. – July 3 – the date of the liberation of the city of Minsk from the Nazi German invaders. – July 28 – the day of the complete liberation of the entire territory of Belarus. Next to the "Calendar of Memory," the "Book of Memory" was placed. This unique project gives everyone the opportunity to write down the names of their relatives and loved ones who suffered during the war, or to leave words of gratitude to the defenders of the Fatherland, thereby creating a living, personal connection with history and immortalizing the memory of those who survived the terrible war years. Participation in the "Calendar of Memory" event was for Belhydromet employees not only a tribute to the heroic past of the country, but also a confirmation of their commitment to the principles of patriotism and the preservation of historical truth for future generations. Such events play a key role in fostering civic responsibility and remind us of the importance of peace and unity.

From June 26 to 28 , Belhydromet , led by its Head Siarhei Khilman, took an active part in the Republican tourist rally among employees of the system of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Belarus . The theme of this year's rally was truly inspiring – "The Year of the Belarusian Woman." This was a wonderful opportunity to highlight the important role of women in the environmental sector, their significant contribution to the preservation of natural resources, and the development of tourism. The event turned out to be truly hot – both literally and figuratively. Our organization's team demonstrated incredible team spirit, a will to win, and well-coordinated work under any conditions. The participants had to test themselves across a wide range of disciplines. The rally program included: sports orientation; water tourism techniques; cycling tourism techniques; hiking tourism techniques; sports biathlon for managers; a creative contest; a culinary contest; the "Tourist Camp" contest. The competition was fierce: 15 strong rivals, intense competition, and worthy challenges – our sector's tourist rally will certainly be remembered for a long time! The Belhydromet team showed a respectable result: in the overall team standings, we took 6th place – a solid and commendable outcome among the strongest teams in the sector! A true triumph was our victory in the "Best Camp Design" nomination, where we won 1st place. Our tourist camp became a true hallmark of the rally: creativity, style, and attention to detail did their job, impressing both the judges and our colleagues. We are proud of every participant – for your dedication, for your ability to stay in formation even during the most challenging stages, and for the energy that unites our team. Thank you to the entire team for the emotions, for the hard work, and for remaining a true team in every situation!

The record-breaking heat wave that has engulfed Western Europe will soon reach regions of Belarus as well. While today (June 25) still features comfortable summer weather with daytime temperatures of +21 +27°C, and up to +28 +30°C in the southwest, on June 26-27 (Friday-Saturday) an air mass of tropical origin will begin to flow into the country, starting from the western regions. Nighttime minimums will range from +8°C to +17°C, while daytime maximums will vary from +21°C in the east and northeast to +33°C in the west. Due to the adverse hydrometeorological phenomenon (extreme heat), an orange hazard level has been declared for Friday and Saturday in the western part of the country. The peak of the heat will occur on June 28-30 (Sunday-Tuesday), when, due to continued advection of very warm air, a positive temperature anomaly will establish itself everywhere and amount to 3-11°C. Daytime thermometer readings will range from +26°C to +34°C, and in the western and southern regions of the country they will reach +35 +38°C. Alongside very high daytime temperatures, nighttime air temperatures over a significant part of the republic will not drop below +20°C (tropical nights). On July 1 (Wednesday), with the arrival of fresher air masses from northwestern Europe, the temperature background will drop slightly, with daytime values of +23 +30°C, and only in the south will the air warm up locally to +33°C. At the same time, under the prevailing influence of a high-pressure area, little precipitation is expected; only in isolated regions of the country, due to the movement of frontal boundaries and in unstable air, will cumulonimbus clouds form, bringing brief showers. With active atmospheric development, showers will locally be accompanied by thunderstorms, and on June 29-30 (Monday-Tuesday) – also by strong gusty winds. Given the sizzling summer weather, do not forget the basic rules of behavior in the heat: try to choose morning or evening hours for walks; if you absolutely must be outside during the period of maximum heating, wear a hat and take a bottle of water with you. People with cardiovascular diseases should be especially cautious and remember to bring the necessary medications. Meanwhile, the water temperature in most rivers and reservoirs, which has currently reached comfortable values and ranges from +16°C to +26°C, will continue to rise. Therefore, when heading to water bodies, be attentive and cautious, and swim only in designated and equipped areas. Furthermore, such anomalously hot weather may result in the daytime temperature record for June – +37.1°C, set on June 23, 2021 at the Oktyabr weather station – being broken in the near future. When using the information a reference to Belhydromet is obligatory.

From June 16 to June 17, 2026, a working event was held on the territory of the Russian Federation, in the settlements of Senkovo (Velizhsky District, Smolensk Oblast) and Kashkovka (Krasnogorsky District, Bryansk Oblast), as part of international cooperation in the field of environmental protection. The event was attended by representatives of Belhydromet. The purpose of the event was to collect hydrobiological samples of macrozoobenthos at transboundary surface water monitoring points on the Western Dvina and Besed rivers. The event was also attended by specialists from the regional analytical control laboratories of the Republican Center for Analytical Control in the Field of Environmental Protection (Republic of Belarus), the Klintsy Hydrochemical Laboratory of the Mosoblvodkhoz Branch of the Federal State Budgetary Water Management Institution "Centrregionvodkhoz" (Klintsy GHL), and the Hydrochemical Laboratory for the Pskov Region of the Baltvodkhoz Branch of the Federal State Budgetary Water Management Institution "Centrregionvodkhoz" (Russian Federation). Joint sampling of macrozoobenthos is an important step towards the harmonization of methodologies and improving the accuracy of the data obtained. During the work, joint analysis and primary processing of the collected samples were carried out, which allowed the participants to exchange experience and adopt best practices in the field of hydrobiological research. Special attention was paid to the discussion of methods for primary sample processing, storage and transportation, as well as approaches to data processing obtained during interlaboratory comparative analyses.   Cooperation between the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation in the field of monitoring transboundary water bodies is becoming increasingly significant. The activities carried out are aimed at enhancing the technical competence of the units responsible for hydrobiological observations and assessing the comparability of data obtained by national laboratories. The results of interlaboratory comparisons lay the foundation for mutual recognition of data on the state of the Western Dvina and Besed rivers, which, in turn, facilitates informed management decisions on the protection and sustainable use of water resources. This event is evidence of fruitful cooperation between the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation in ensuring the environmental safety of transboundary water bodies and maintaining high-quality hydrobiological monitoring.

On June 23, employees of Belhydromet came together for a cleanup of their premises, demonstrating not only professionalism in their field but also a responsible attitude toward the surrounding environment. With enthusiasm and high spirits, armed with the necessary tools – rakes, brooms, and other equipment – all participants set to work together. The main goal was to bring the paths, lawns, and flower beds adjacent to the Belhydromet building into perfect order. Well-coordinated teamwork made it possible to effectively accomplish the task, transforming the area and making it more well-groomed and attractive. Each employee, putting a piece of their heart into the effort, emphasized the importance of caring for our shared space. After all, taking care of the environment is not just about cleaning up – it is a manifestation of respect for nature and for those who work and spend time on these grounds every day. Such initiatives foster a positive atmosphere within the team and strengthen the sense of community. We extend our sincere gratitude to all participants of this important event. Your active stance, team spirit, and contribution to the common cause deserve the highest praise.
