Since June 7, 2026, several local digital media pages on X, Facebook and Instagram have been claiming that Lahore and Faisalabad were en route to rank among the world’s hottest cities by 2050. However, the claim is misleading.

On June 7, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) released an advisory, warning that a heatwave would engulf the country until June 12, with temperatures rising by seven degrees Celsius above normal. It predicted that a high-pressure system was likely to develop and persist in the upper atmosphere.

The PMD warned that night-time temperatures were also likely to rise, while dust storms may occur at isolated pla­ces in southern Punjab and Sindh. The department further advised that children, women and senior citizens should exercise extra caution during the heatwave.
