Recommendation
Driving is safe throughout the day. Best windows: early morning 7AM-9AM (74-76F, cooler and comfortable) and evening 8PM-10PM (84-88F, cooling down after peak heat). If driving during midday-afternoon (12PM-5PM), ensure vehicle AC/cooling system is working and stay hydrated; check tire pressure as heat can affect it.
