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. -Jim C MWPH
