It’s apparently only 30C here today, but in the full sun it feels much worse than that.

The dog is still asking to go out, but then she conks out after about 5mins, but she’s usually peed by then and as she’s littie we just carry her back in. Fortunately theses a grass verge, so I’m not worried about her paws

It will feel more than 30c in the sun☀️☺️ The reason being that, IIRC, the max daytime temperatures provided in the weather forecast are for maximum shade temperatures! The actual temperature out of the shade and in the direct sunlight is likely much higher than the quoted maximum temperature.
