The actual temperature will be about 26 degrees at the time of the ceremony.
But with the wind, it's going to feel like about 12.
Thank you.

He says it was payback for speaking out against the Biden administration's handling of the migrant crisis. And since President Trump's election, he's been very careful not to criticize him.
