Some key things to keep in mind. Once the air temperature hits 95F and above, the faster you move, the more heat that is transferred from the air to your body. As a general rule it is recommended to avoid riding during these temperatures. If you must ride in these temperatures, use a white jacket (not mesh), that has venting, and use an evaporative vest under the jacket. Take plenty of breaks, where you can hopefully get into air conditioning for 15 minutes or so, and rehydrate the vest. Drink a lot of fluid, more than you think you need, or need to satisfy your thirst. Salt can also be important, you need salt to sweat.
This has been a LIFESAVER for me : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BDU3QA/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_lg6oybAE3JAV7

Seriously though, an evaporative cooling vest would be on the top of my shopping list. So much better than a soaked T-shirt. You can get a lower tech that cools up to 4 hours or so (probably a lot less in extreme heat on a bike) for under $100.

Riding in temps above 100degs just seems unnatural.(doesn't stop me from riding)
I tell my cage dwelling friends it's like driving with someone holding a hair drier in front of you.
I've been thinking about getting one of the cooling vests to try out this summer.
This one has good reviews and is priced pretty fair.
