eli5 What does exactly the minimum temperature that we see in the daily weather forecast mean? Is it calculated using temperatures observed during the whole night? Meaning from 00:00am to 11:59pm or to the sunrise of the following day?

It’s more of an approximation of the coldest we expect it to get.
It’s not even that precise either, as I have seen miminums get outclassed by the facts several times this year alone, but it’s a good enough approximation. This is taken, usually, via seasons norms, recent averages for that hour, expected atmospheric pressure (which encompasses fronts, both hot and cold), chance of rain and such.
