Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it prescribed to cool off with the Zuhr prayer on summer days when there are air conditioners in the mosques?
Answer:
Yes, the road is hot, and not every mosque has air conditioning. So one cools off with the Zuhr prayer. This is the Sunnah (recommended practice): one cools off with it when the heat becomes intense. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 677Sahih (Darussalam).

When it is very hot, then wait for it to cool down before you pray, for intense heat is from the flaring up of the Hell-fire.
