Would this is safe to do on a sunny warm weather? Would body heat plus the sun ruin the cream?

It's fairly safe. You can leave dairy products unrefrigerated for an uncomfortable amount of time :) Butter, in particular, can last for days outside a fridge.
The bacteria that tends to infest dairy products will usually (but not always) turn it into something tasty like yogurt.
Don't get me wrong, you can definitely get sick from spoiled dairy products, but it's not a 100% thing.
I live in Ireland, and once we take butter out of the fridge (to replace the one that's now gone), it doesn't go back in, whatever the weather. All butter here is basically of Kerrygold quality (I'm talking real butter of course).
Gotta be honest, though, I'm not a fan of grassy dairy products :). I had dairy cows growing up and in the spring their milk definitely took on a distinct grassy flavor. I personally preferred it more when it was primarily hay flavored. Store milk tastes like basically nothing in particular.
I’d be more concerned about having plastic bags against my skin when I’m sweating heavily than the effect the heat would have on the butter tbh. Hot weather is an excuse to wear less clothing, not wrap yourself in ziploc bags
