The lowest temperature is the minimum thermal reading recorded or possible within a given context.
Weather reports note the overnight low: The lowest temperature tonight will be around 28 degrees.
In physics, absolute zero (−273.15°C or −459.67°F) represents the theoretical lowest temperature, where molecular motion essentially stops.
