I'm going to suggest something different than the common thing that 
comes to mind... I generally have 90's all summer with a few 100's 
mixed in. No misting... The key is getting the vines adequately 
buried, and letting those vines produce more roots.

There seem to be periods of the season where the plant seems more 
suseptible to hot temps. But once the plant is mature and all the 
vines are buried, hot temps don't seem to faze it. Just keep up on 
the irrigation.
