Radiator fan throw or any short circuit in the fan also be check from mechanic  because if fan throw or short circuit happen in driving it cause serious problem to the driver which is (unnoticed overheat engine) or engine siege  especially  with ac on.

Head gasket can be broken apart if engine temperature turns very high causes radiator malfunction  in addition in hot day with weak engine can damage the engine itself if put more load on engine.

Engine checklist:  In cold weather engine can survive if its working capacity is about 50 percent because load such as ac and engine heat up from hot weather doesn’t affect in winter months but in summer months with hot conditions and ac would easily put the engine to a dead position therefore if engine is weak then replace with new one to avoid any disruption or don’t put load such as ac on the engine in summer months

These are vital car care tips in hot weather to prevent from any damage to the car or any disruption while driving

Car wheel & tire:

Another cause of engine heat is wheel jams; every jam in any wheel increases the burden on the engine to power the automobile; consequently, specialists examine wheels.

Examine the tyre for signs of wear, uneven wear, age cracks, or damage. Examine the inflation pressure in each rung, including the spare. Underinflated tyres cause the tyres to overheat, increasing the danger of a blowout.

Hose pipe (injector pipe):

Any blockage in the pipe might potentially cause the engine to overheat by not giving the engine with enough amount of water to maintain the temperature in summer conditions.

Second, ensure that there is no leaking in the pipe; a leak might quickly empty the radiator while driving.

Check the age of your battery:

Most car batteries only last 1 or 2 years. If your battery is 1 or more years old, it will probably need to be replaced soon. Hot weather is actually harder on batteries than cold weather because it increases the rate of evaporation of the liquid electrolyte inside the battery (this is not a problem with gel-type batteries.

Engine oil check:

Make sure the oil in the engine is at the recommended level and also make sure that the oil changes after recommended miles driven.
