@youronlyone @pilipinas 38°C is 100°F, or a very hot day in NYC. I don't think New York has ever seen 45°C (113°F), but it has definitely seen weeks of 105-106°F (41°C), in my lifetime. It's rare, but it does happen.
When I visited the Philippines, my cousins were very concerned for me, but the East Coast of the US gets very hot and humid in Summer, so the heat in Manila in November was just regular hot weather for us.
Only the Southwest US normally gets up to 45°C.
