If they are in the ground it wont be a problem ,they will love it , iv had temps up to 47 and theyve been fine.
If in pots you could run into some trouble

Hey Rob!
I'm also growing my plants outdoor, It's a shame yours are not in Pots because that way you could at least move them to partial shade and give them tons of water.

Here's what I would do, Go down to your local shitty Asian 2 dollar store and find some material that looked like it will do the trick. Get some pegs and some chopsticks/BBQ skewers and give those babies some cover.
Also is they're not that big in size, What I did was I got a water cooler tank and cut the bottom off and used it to create a mini greenhouse for my plant during the heatwave.

Best of luck!
