Historical reference
Hydrometeorological activities have long and rich tradition on the territory of Republic of Macedonia. First meteorological measurements and observations were performed in the early 1891, and organized hydrometeorological station network has existed since 1923. Until 1947 from time to time there were interruptions in measurements and observations depending on the circumstances. That year Hydrometeorological Service of the National Republic of Macedonia was established and a new hydrometeorological network was formed. Today in the Hydrometeorological Service there are 236 employees of which 63 experts have university education. Last years the role of the Hydrometeorological Service exceeded the framework of classic observing of weather, climate and water and their forecasting. It is impossible to imagine social and economic development of Republic of Macedonia without information that this institution gives for solving the problems in the fields of climate change, water resources management, phenomena mitigation and environment degradation.
Near past
World meteorological organization
Our country
Our country as a sovereign and independent state has been a member of the World Meteorological Organization since 1993 which is specialized agency of the United Nations. Our membership in this organization created new possibilities and perspectives for development of international co-operation in the field of meteorology, hydrology and environment through participation in the work of Congresses, working bodies, commissions and working groups which are formed at regional level and worldwide. Therefore Hydrometeorological Service as a holder of the hydrometeorological activity in the country has a function of a National Meteorological Centre. The Service carrying out and co-ordinating international obligations with its research and developing programme has participated in numerous national and international projects (MED-HYCOS, EMEP, MEDSEEME-PEP etc.), it has signed bilateral and multilateral agreements and co-ordinated with international hydrometeorological and other institutions (UNDP, UNESCO, FAO, ICSU, PHARE, JICA, World Bank etc).
