Below is an index to checklists of postal and numismatic items in various Weather and Climate categories. Each page features postal items such as stamps, souvenir sheets, postal stationery, postmarks, cancels, meters, and also cinderellas and cachets from covers when appropriate, as well as numismatic items (banknotes and coins). We include all known items, even those considered illegitimate by catalogs or postal authorities, with the idea that users will decide what items are acceptable for their own collections.
Our goal is to build an online catalog for Meteo-Philately that is as complete as possible and is freely available to everyone. Readers who know of additional information or images, or who have suggestions for improvements, are invited to contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
