In this paper, we consider a semi-classical version of the nonhomogeneous heat equation with singular time-dependent coefficients on the lattice $\hbar \mathbb {Z}^n$
. We establish the well-posedness of such Cauchy problems in the classical sense when regular coefficients are considered, and analyse how the notion of very weak solution adapts in such equations when distributional coefficients are regarded. We prove the well-posedness of both the classical and the very weak solution in the weighted spaces $\ell ^{2}_{s}(\hbar \mathbb {Z}^n)$
, $s \in \mathbb {R}$
, which is enough to prove the well-posedness in the space of tempered distributions $\mathcal {S}'(\hbar \mathbb {Z}^n)$
. Notably, when $s=0$
, we show that for $\hbar \rightarrow 0$
, the classical (resp. very weak) solution of the heat equation in the Euclidean setting $\mathbb {R}^n$
is recaptured by the classical (resp. very weak) solution of it in the semi-classical setting $\hbar \mathbb {Z}^n$
.
