We've just had a heat wave with two consecutive days of 40+'C, with
night temperatures in the low to mid 20's. Luckily humidity was around
the 50-70% mark - Darwin and the Kununurra area has these sorts of
temperatures for a large portion of the year with 80-100% humidity ...

I doubt that there is anything that will kill a D. capensis :-)
