I just looked at the pots again. Initially I thought they were 4" pots but... Are those gallon pots? If so, keep them in those pots in whatever partial shade you can rig up. Morning sun/afternoon shade is good, or filtered sun as mentioned above. Shade cloth is readily available online or at hardware/big box stores. Plant and follow initial instructions when the blazing heat lets up. Most important, keep them well watered but don't let them get soggy or sit in water-filled saucers.

We got the scorching weather during the first three weeks in June. Some plants I'd planted in May died because they hadn't established enough new roots and simply couldn't suck up water fast enough! Now we're heavy monsoon rains! In spite of flash flooding, the rain is a welcome relief. Maybe you'll get some. The weather is so weird, who knows? Shrug!
