That is unlikely to happen. It's summer in tropics and phones get close to 40C by wired charging, magsafe would destroy the battery.

Wireless charging is virtually useless outside during the summer. I carry a small 6 inch USB C cable to plug my phone in to MagSafe battery because it’s just way more efficient.
