TL;DR
During summer (July-August) spend daytime hours in air-conditioned malls. For walking outdoors, wait until early morning or after 7-8 PM when it cools down; quick trips between shops, cafes, and malls during the day are fine.

Malls are a great option to escape the heat — they're cool and comfortable throughout the day.

Being outside during the day is tough due to humidity, so plan outdoor activities for morning or late evening instead.
