## Definition

having the highest temperature compared to others. You use this to describe the most comfortable or hot thing in a group.

For teachers: the superlative form of 'warm'; indicating the highest degree of moderate heat or thermal comfort within a specific set.

## Examples

- This is the warmest room in the house.
- Please put on your warmest coat because the temperature is expected to drop below freezing tonight.
- The climatologists noted that the previous decade was the warmest on record, citing a significant increase in average global temperatures compared to the mid-twentieth century.

## Pitfalls

- Not "the most warmest" but "the warmest" — Learners often double the superlative by adding 'most' to an adjective that already has the '-est' suffix.

## Usage notes

- Superlative form of 'warm'; typically preceded by the definite article 'the'.
