What a shame, Toni and Gloria. I'm so sorry.
We've had an unusually cool summer here, with the exception of a couple of mini-heatwaves lasting only a few days each. Last week we soared to 107 degrees one day with no warning. I swear we'd had high 70s and low 80s for weeks up to that point. Obviously, nothing in the garden was happy about that drastic change in weather, but it luckily did not last more than a few days and now we're back to high 70s and low 80s. Some triple-digit temps are in the forecast for next week as well, but everything here will survive as long as the heat wave doesn't last long.
We've also had no rain in months, but we never have rain in summer, so gardening here necessarily includes some watering every single day. This year I've actually used much less water than at any time in the last decade or so.
