He has to follow specific rules in order for the record to be verified by Guinness:
- He must talk about weather for the entirety of the time, outside of breaks.
- He can talk about current weather, and weather seven days in the past or seven days ahead.
- For every 60 minutes completed, he can take a five-minute break. The breaks can carry over and be combined, so if he goes four hours without stopping, he can take a 20-minute break.
- Two independent witnesses must also be there at all times.
