Donald Trump is slated to have one of the coldest Inauguration Days in 40 years, according to CNN. The outlet reports that when Trump is sworn in at noon on Monday, the temperature is expected to be in the low 20s (around 20 degrees below normal) with winds reaching 10 to 20 mph. Although rain and snow are expected to pour the day prior, Inauguration Day is looking clear, though wind gusts up to 30 mph will make for freezing conditions. CNN reports that noon temperatures were as low as 7 degrees for Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration in 1985, while at Barack Obama’s first inauguration in 2009, they hit 28 degrees. The anticipated temperatures for Trump’s second inauguration would make it the coldest Inauguration Day since Reagan’s. The expected cold is a result of Arctic air that’s slated to spill south from Canada late this week and drop temperatures to below normal across a multitude of states.
