M: What's the weather usually like in your hometown?

R: Well, it's always been changeable there. We're next to the sea. So that can bring in some strong winds. And that's despite the shelter provided by the hills behind it.

M: What's your favourite kind of weather?

R: Well, I've always liked sunny weather with scattered clouds for occasional shade. I think that's a nice compromise. Not that we experience much of this in Scotland, of course.

M: Do you like the weather in your hometown?

R: Well, usually, although there have been times when I wished it had more, I don't know, Mediterranean climate. Although come to think of it, if global warming continues, then we're probably in for exactly that.

M: Do you like hot or dry weather?

R: Well, I've never been a fan of the extreme heat like on the African savannah, for example, though, I don't feel it much. I always think something milder is better.

M: What do you do in hot weather?

R: Well, I think it depends on what I have planned for the day. So if I've been working, then probably it's a good idea just to go home and relax. Although, if there's aircon at the gym, then it's probably the best place to head, to be honest with you. So it depends a lot on the context.

M: Do you prefer hot or cold weather?

R: Well, like I said, I've always preferred a happy medium. But if I had to choose then I'd probably say I prefer it to be too cold because well, at least you can warm yourself up.

M: Do you prefer wet or dry weather?

R: Well, since I've moved back to Scotland, it's less about what my preferences are and more about what I have to put up with. Although I definitely prefer it when the rain is off. That's for sure.

M: Hey, thank you, Rory, for your weather answers!

R: Hopefully they haven't weathered away anyone's patience!
