Give them access to water to cool off in. Even if it's just pans of water they can stand in it will help them. You could try spritzing them with water but don't cool them off too quickly or they may go into shock. If you have a fan that you can set up for them that may help as well? Holy smokes, how hot is it where you live! It's just starting to warm up here in the great white north!! Good luck!

Really sorry to hear... I'm still a bit baffled though. My girls get through 100-112 degree summers - however, it's dry here (no humidity). I just make sure they have bushes to hang out under and I will typically flood under the largest one every morning to give them a little more coolness - that and lots of water to drink.
