January 20, 2021 21:20

This year's US Presidential Inauguration Day could be the first sunny inauguration ceremony since US President Bill Clinton was sworn in for his first term in 1993 - nearly three decades ago.

CNN reported that it will be a chilly, blustery day in Washington on Wednesday, with one of the windiest inaugurations on record expected. Forecast at noon reported that the temperature would be around 45 degrees (Fahrenheit), partly to mostly sunny skies, with the possibility of passing flurries. Gusty winds of 35 to 40 mph are expected during the ceremony, which will create a wind chill of 35 to 40 degrees (F).

The weather at IS President Donald Trump's 2017 inauguration had 48 degrees temperature at noon with a cloudy sky. Sprinkles were reported at his swearing-in ceremony, while light rain was witnessed at the start of his parade.

During former US President Barack Obama's 2013 inauguration, a cloudy sky was reported, while the temperature was recorded 45 degrees at noon.
