I live in the uae where temps regularly hit 40c, I don't think leaving them out to deal with it would be a very good idea.
How much time should they spend in the sunlight

An hour a few times a week is enough to meet their UV needs. If its 40C, I would leave them inside and rely on an Arcadia 12% HO time for UV. You can also supplement the diet with calcium powder that already has D3 in it.

Check this out for the correct care info. Look for the temperate species care sheet near the bottom:
