The authors consider an assessment of bioclimatic conditions, which serve as a measure of the environment’s aggressiveness, as one of the stages of the regional economic strategy development. The calculation of the wet cooling wind index according to Hill (which was carried out on the data of 528 weather stations) resulted in the development of several diagrams. The authors obtain quantitative assessment of the different states of the environment and show the spatial heterogeneity of bioclimatic parameters on the territory of the Far Eastern Federal District. The study shows that the areas with the bioclimatic values, which are typical for the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, are found to the South of these natural zones
