A person's personality kind of has a role in what kind of interests they take, but a person's interests have no bearing on the personality or the semblance that will arise as a result of that personality, no. After all, many people of differing personalities can like the same thing, just as many people of similar personalities can have completely different interests.

A semblance should tie into a personality trait or something that has been ingrained into their mind from a young age; take my character Oriana's wolf construct summoning. She summons creatures because she has a deep desire for companionship based on a lonely childhood. Her personality is shy and withdrawn, which means she won't go out and make real friends, so she instead creates her own. And they take the shape of canines because of a pet pug that she owned when she was 7.

Her personality and personal experiences as a child shaped what kind of semblance she would get (summoning constructs to fill the place of friends) and her love for her pet decided the shape. So unless his character has some sort of ever-changing personality that can be calm and clear until a metaphorical storm brews, or has been deeply affected by weather in some way, I don't think a weather manipulation semblance really works for the character.
