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.

Considering that the models predicting the worst cases have tended to be more accurate (eg https://www.nature.com/articles/nature24672), you may want to hold off on that thankfulness.
