The high temperature for the day is projected to be below freezing at 23 degrees as Trump officially begins his second term in office, while the low may drop to just 10 degrees.

When Trump first took the presidential oath in 2017, the weather was pretty normal for the day, with a temperature of 48 degrees, although ceremony attendees had to deal with light rain throughout the day.
