We typically have days here called the double 90's- 90F & 90% humidity. 
When the wind blows, you can hear the blossoms hitting the plastic
mulching like rain.  Most chiles (& especially large leaffed ones like
habs) need some afternoon shade during very warm times.  The difference
in growth between partially shaded chiles and scorched chiles is
dramatic.  This 'discovery' has also been recently backed up by the
Internation Chile Pepper Institute.
