Abstract: Bremke and Xi determined the lowest two-sided cell for affine Weyl groups with unequal parameters and showed that it consists of at most left cells where
is the associated finite Weyl group. We prove that this bound is exact. Previously, this was known in the equal parameter case and when the parameters were coming from a graph automorphism. Our argument uniformly works for any choice of parameters.
