Night hike. Avoid hiking strenuously during the hottest part of the day.
Stay hydrated. This begins before hitting a TH!
Stay fueled. No energy roller coasting.
Cooling foods and herbs - cucumbers, radishes, cilantro, greens, sprouts, raspberries, watermelon, strawberries, cherries, mangoes, lemon, lemon balm, red hibiscus, cardamon, mint - foods with higher moisture content which equals eating some of your water needs rather than drinking it. If rose hips are available squish some into water. Avoid warming foods like cayenne or curries.
Light apparel colors loosely wrapping up exposed skin. Cover up. Ventible hat.
Pace slower. Rest. Go to a lighter wt TPW.
Sleep higher.

Slow down the mind.
I BP’d at higher elevation last week and the sun was searing in the open areas...got quite sunburned (forgot my hat). I should have hiked after dark as you suggest because it was very cool and comfortable.
