If it is morning sun that is okay, and I am glad it gets shade the rest of the day. They really need that shade protection during the hottest part of the day. When you water, do it in the morning, so that it has time to dry out before night time comes around. Nights are getting quite cooler too, which is good for them.
Give it time to acclimate to your area. As long as are our daytime highs still hitting the mid 80F's to 90F's and higher, you can water frequently. It is just too dry around us. I let Mother Nature take over when the rains arrive, by then even if it is not raining, the air is cooler, humidity is higher, and sometimes we get foggy mornings which these plants also enjoy.
