The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump is expected to be moved indoors as freezing temperatures move in.

On Monday, Trump will be sworn in as president for the second time amid freezing weather, with the day’s high temperature projected to be just 24 degrees and the low projected to be 9.

“There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country,” Trump posted Friday on his social media website, Truth Social. “I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way.”

Instead, Trump said he and Vice President-elect JD Vance will be sworn into office inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

Trump’s team is also reportedly in talks with the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies about how to handle the thousands of people planning to travel to the National Mall to witness the ceremony.

The freezing weather is projected to be D.C.’s coldest inauguration day in 40 years. President Ronald Reagan’s inauguration in 1985 was just 7 degrees and described as “sunny, but bitter cold” by the National Weather Service.
