107F is a typical summer day here. Gets up to about 114F each year and a record high of 117F. Las Vegas is HOT, but has never reached anything close to 140F
I water in the morning and afternoon. I use drip irrigation, but use a hose on extra hot days to increase humidity and cool things down.

You are aware that temperature is measured in the shade, right? I've talked with several local weathermen that all said the same thing - it gets into the 120s to the 160s in the sun here. I'm sure it does that in other places as well but then you can add in the humidity... Last year there was one day where it got up to 108F in the shade.
