They look like they don't have mulch on and around them. Why is that? That could help possibly. Where I live we've had many days over 100 degrees in the sun, up to 130 easily, as does a lot of the southern part of the country. 110 being recorded in the shade, that would not burn the plants. It's way way way hotter in the sun. None of my bananas have done that this year (I also water the hell out of them). The surrounding environment could also be aiding in the burning of the fronds as well. Just hot hot hot period.
