I've ridden in 90+ degree weather in the past. I've never found them uncomfortably warm, and when the sun is shining bright, can actually be cooler than naked arms.

I can believe the hint about spraying water on them.

Example:

I wore them during a Bike MS (two day 175 mile) ride.

First day it was a coolish day, mid 70s, and POURING during the morning. But as soon as the rain stopped my arms got so cold I actually starting shivering. They dry quickly though.

Next day was in the 80s, 75 miles.
