Experts debate if a Gaza ceasefire deal that releases hostages could give Donald Trump a lift like Ronald Reagan's in 1981.

Washington, D.C., will experience a high of 21 degrees and a low of 11 degrees around noon when the inauguration is set to begin.

The worst weather for an inaugural came in March 1909, when 10 inches of snow forced William H. Taft to move indoors to be sworn in.

It will be the coldest Inauguration Day since former President Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration in 1985, when the noon temperature was 7 degrees.

Observers expect a different tone from the leader who talked about "American carnage" as he started his first term.

The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will be moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda on Monday because frigid temperatures are expected in the nation’s capital.

The DC People's March, which activist groups organised, ended outside the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. Thousands of people participated in the protest march despite the severe weather conditions.

Ronald Reagan's second inauguration was moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda due to dangerously cold weather, and now, in 2025, Donald Trump's inauguration follows suit. This video explores the historical significance of both events and how they mirror each other.

The second inauguration of Ronald Reagan on Jan. 20, 1985, was forced indoors due to intense cold. As USA TODAY noted that day, "The USA's 50th inauguration today moves indoors – a victim of bone-chilling temperatures that threatened 350,000 invited guests and parade watchers."

Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on January 20. The inauguration will begin with fireworks on January 18, according to the committee.
