The grass probably dies from lack of water, not the heat. Or was mowed to

Nope. I'm very careful and follow recommendations from the
manufacturers. I keep it at 2" year round. Also our property has one
stream under it and the lack of water would only be a problem is we
didn't have rain for more than a month IMO. The heavy dews we have in
the morning are amazing. I have to leep the areas in shade mowed short
or they'll never dry out.
