My experience is this. Keep hydrated, I usually carry two bottles, one gatorade type, one plain water. I try to alternate between them. I also wear a compression style shirt under my jersey as I find that it helps me regulate core temperature better (and prevents nipple chafing). Other than that, I ride/run through the heat as I find that come time for my fall races, I am stronger for it. That said, learn the signs of heat related issues and stop and address them immediately if you see them.
