I live in Asia and summers are routinely 37 C.
Apple's new chips are a GODSEND for laptops. My old Intel laptops would nearly instantly thermally throttle under any trivial load without air conditioning at full blast and a fan aimed at the machine.

My laptop idles at less than 20°C above ambient, so usually in the high 40s, but the fans already speed up when it reaches 60°C - at 37°C I have just a few degrees of wiggle room until inevitably it starts cooling more aggressively.
It routinely hits 37-40C here during the summer /and/ 80%+ humidity.
A week ago it was ambient temp 39C with a Heat Index of 45C.
I hadn't thought about the Apple Silicon being a pro in that environment but now I'm tempted to get one lol.
