+1 strain
I live in the southeast of Spain and where I live in summer the temperature is between 36º- 40º (even reaching 42º one day).
As a tip, it is best to protect the pots from the heat. Try to shade the pots, water when the temperature drops (in the afternoon) or place the pots on some object (for example two pieces of wood) so that the air can circulate underneath (as long as the air is not too hot or the pot can receive shade) and avoid heating the pot with the heat of the ground.
In short, the root zone (pot) should be kept as warm as possible. The upper part, the trunk, branches and leaves, on the other hand, have a greater capacity to withstand the heat.
Plates to collect excess water are perhaps not recommended. If you use them, try to empty them later so that the excess water does not cause fungal problems or excess humidity.
Sweet smokes!
