45C average is insane! but thankfully a worst-case scenario - not the current situation.
Here is the present day temperature readings, from the abstract:
>>> Here we found that pantropical canopy temperatures independently triangulated from individual leaf thermocouples, pyrgeometers and remote sensing (ECOSTRESS) have midday peak temperatures of approximately 34 °C during dry periods, with a long high-temperature tail that can exceed 40 °C.
