I ride In our Summer Mid day heat and humidity but I doubt I could handle Tucson summer' mid day conditions..
I simply dial down the Intensity about 20% If I'm riding after 11am.. No Idea if that would work In Arizona...
Plus I have the Luxury of trees so I ride the open spaces in the AM and head for the woods when the sun starts climbing.

Once it gets above about ~110F, it becomes impossible to sweat enough to keep cool. People get heat stroke in those conditions, regardless of how much water they have. Most Tucson riding will be highly exposed, so direct sun and no cover.
Any chance you could drive up to Mt. Lemmon, or Catalina State Park? That would get you out of the heat some, and you avoid the worst days.
