Growing clinical evidence suggests that heat stress can induce cutaneous hyperpigmentation. However, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, we demonstrate that heat stress promotes repigmentation in vitiligo lesions and induces melanogenesis in depigmented mouse skin. Mechanistically, we reveal that heat stress upregulates WNT5A expression and paracrine secretion in dermal fibroblasts (FB) through METTL3\u2010mediated N\n                    <jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2010methyladenosine (m\n                    <jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup>\n                    A) modification. The stability of WNT5A mRNA is regulated through a YTHDC1\u2010dependent pathway. Treatment with recombinant WNT5A protein significantly increases melanin content in melanocytes (MC), MNT1 cells, and human skin explants. Furthermore, WNT5A induces the expression of both \u03b2\u2010catenin and its receptor FZD10 in MC. Functional rescue experiments confirm that FZD10 knockdown abolishes WNT5A\u2010 and heat stress\u2010induced \u03b2\u2010catenin activation, thereby attenuating melanogenesis. Collectively, our findings elucidate a novel mechanism whereby heat stress triggers fibroblast\u2010derived WNT5A secretion via METTL3\/YTHDC1\u2010dependent m\n                    <jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup>\n                    A methylation to promote melanogenesis.
