The term strongest does not really apply here. It really depends on the context. -30 is much colder than -2, so in this case the more negative, the "stronger" the implication. If we were talking about a bank balance, $5 is better than $1, so here the more positive number is the "stronger" one. Just think of negative and positive numbers as all living on the same spectrum, but just on different sides of zero, or what we use to denote the absence of anything.
