President-elect Donald Trump's second inauguration has been moved following concerns about the weather forecast.

The Republican's second inauguration is going to move indoors, Trump confirmed.

Temperatures could drop as low as -14C in Washington DC, with strong winds also forecast, reports NBC

The last time the ceremony was moved indoors was fellow-Republican Ronald Reagan's second inauguration in 1985.

President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House on Monday

Trump said on his Truth social media platform: "I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather,"

"The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol. This will be a very beautiful experience for all, and especially for the large TV audience!"

"There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way.

"It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th (In any event, if you decide to come, dress warmly!)."
