Keep them well watered and they should thrive.

I agree, when I used to grow in soil indoors about a week each summer would reach 40+ and I would just soak them with water and never hermied even in flower

all you can do is hope for wind,or if close enough to house point a fan at them ,just as you would in a green house,in the heat of day like from 11 to 4pm you can put a little shade over them,then just take it off around 4,i use the 50%shade clothe and just a make shift stand,it is 115 in sun but probally 100 in shade right,as others mentioned with the water i wouldnt do,that is gonna bite you for over watering,stick your finger down i soil and you will find the soil is cool about 3 in down ,so just a tad of shade during hot spots of day will help,they will shut down either way you go when it super hot ,i just try to keep them from sunburn myself
