Lahore’s temperature reached 46°C on June 11, 2025, as the ongoing regional heatwave continues to impact several cities across Punjab. Local authorities have issued alerts for elevated temperatures until at least June 12, with peak readings expected to hit 48°C.
The temperature of Lahore on Wednesday reported as one of the highest this season. Real-feel temperatures are slightly higher due to low humidity and direct sun exposure. According to reports, urban centers including Lahore, Multan, and Faisalabad recorded temperatures between 45°C and 47°C during the day.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department forecasts that the heatwave will persist through Thursday, with temperatures remaining 4°C to 7°C above normal. Some health departments have warned of potential risks related to prolonged exposure. Outdoor activity between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. is discouraged.
The Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority has activated heat response plans across major hospitals. Emergency counters for heatstroke have been set up, and rescue services remain on high alert. Citizens are advised to remain indoors, stay hydrated, and wear light clothing.
Lahore’s air quality index stood at 84, with PM2.5 levels recorded at nearly five times the World Health Organization’s recommended limit. This level of air pollution, combined with high temperatures, increases the risk of respiratory stress, especially in vulnerable populations.
Tuesday, June 10, was the hottest day recorded in Lahore since 2007. Temperatures reached 46°C, making it the city’s highest temperature in 18 years, as noted by local media outlets.
The ongoing heatwave in Lahore is part of a larger regional pattern affecting northern India, Sindh, and southern Punjab. Climate analysts link this rise in temperature trends to long-term environmental shifts and increased urban heat retention.
Temperature conditions in Lahore will remain under close observation over the next 48 hours. Residents are urged to follow public advisories and avoid unnecessary exposure during peak heat hours.
