Depending on the amount in a urine cup specimen, the temp should be above 90 degrees F. If the amount is small, the temp may not be high enough to be tested by the temp strip. If the urine is tested as it comes out of the bladder, then it will test between 92 and 100 degrees F.

What is the right urine temp for home pregnancy test?
You want to urinate directly on the pregnancy test strip. If you are using urine that has been sitting for a while, it isn't the temperature to be concerned about, as much as the length of time it has been sitting there. The amount of hCG concentrated in the urine decreases as it sits. So it is best to use fresh urine every time.
What causes urine temperature to be higher than 100?
The temperature of urine in the bladder is the same as the body's core temperature. A urine temperature of higher than 100 degrees is the same as a fever of 100, and is caused by infection, dehydration, or intense exercise.
Is urine temperature a adequate way to determine a positive drug screen for preemployment?
If a cold urine sample is submitted (should be warm if it is fresh), it may be rejected as possibly from someone else. So, while it is not "positive" for drugs, it has "failed" part of the test.
