Bone-chilling temperatures are threatening Trump's big day on January 20 as tens of thousands of Americans flock to the Capitol to see the president-elect sworn in. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance are set to be sworn into office inside the US Capitol Rotunda due to the cold.

Reagan's Nod to Cold Weather

Washington DC is forecast to be at about 18 degrees when Trump is sworn in at noon on Monday, with the National Weather Service predicting a high in the upper teens to low 20s. Wind chills could make the conditions even icier, potentially making it the coldest inauguration day since 1985, when Ronald Reagan was sworn in indoors.

Reagan gave a nod to the weather during his indoor ceremony 40 years ago, joking about the cold conditions. The temperature on Inauguration Day has only been below freezing once since Reagan's inauguration – at Barack Obama's first inauguration in 2009.
