For the first time in several decades, the inauguration of the new US president will take place indoors. Meteorologists warn that temperatures in Washington will drop to -21°C on 20 January, forcing organisers to alter the traditional format.
Usually, the ceremony of taking office was held outdoors, but this year, due to extreme weather conditions, a decision has been made to hold it indoors.
The last time an oath was administered indoors was to Ronald Reagan in 1985. Notably, in 1841, William Henry Harrison, who became president, fell ill after his inauguration was held in cold weather and died just weeks later.
