It hit 110 degrees today. Even with a good soaking yesterday, some fig leaves were beginning to wilt, so I cut up a piece of worn out shadecloth and rigged a few additional shade canopies in hopes it will be enough keep everything from getting cooked. The angled tops slope down toward the west, maximizing morning sun and afternoon shade; they should also keep the hail from collecting when the monsoons start (hopefully!) in a few weeks.

If you can, wet the ground all around the plants, or install some misters.. The evaporation from the wet ground, or misters, will help cool the environment around the tree, and make the air higher in humidity, thus lessening the ability of the air to pull moisture out of the leaves. The worst is to have warm (or hot), dry air and wind. Then you have a convection oven, The moving air will draw the moisture out much quicker. Water late at night, or early in the morning so the plant has time to get fully hydrated before the heat comes. If it is already somewhat depleted when the heat comes, watering will help, but it is then a game of  catch-up, rather than keeping-up.

Good points--and today was windy. I set a sprinkler out there and they look fine now, but you're right, playing catch-up doesn't work very well. A couple of leaves got wilted a few days ago, and even with an immediate spray-down the tips and edges never recovered.
