Seeds planted, hot weather but not crazy hot

I have several mini flats of seeds that I planted, (namely squash, cucumber, and cosmos) and I'm in the greater San Diego area. Possibly a little late for seeds, but oh well. Today it is 86, which is the first hot day of the summer season. I have my seeds planted in full sun and I make sure I water them several times a day to make sure the seeds and medium don't dry out. Are they OK? I figure as long as it's not above 90-95, the seedlings, should love full sun like that no? We are close to the ocean so usually there is humidity. Should I move the seeds, or leave them? I just don't want them to fry. Thanks!

    If you can I would get them into shade. They don't need full sun now and it is making it very difficult to control both the moisture and the soil temperature. Al

    Al,

    What you say makes sense. I moved them out of the sun. Of course now it has been overcast, so I moved them back. But they should do better this way. Still not seeing the squash or cucumbers come up yet; I know they do take awhile...
