Is it getting too hot to set pumpkins on... Hell yes! I wouldn't leave the AC 
to pollinate them... I would use shade coth and like many of the southern 
growers have written also look back at some of their notes to keep the pumpkin 
bloom cool as possible... 
One questing what temp does it get to when you call it too hot. 
Got to 85 in Mich and I was hot...
Good Luck
