What do you expect your ambient temperatures to be during the heat wave (both highs and lows). It may be that your cigars will be fine for the duration.

Your cigars will proably be fine just as they are.
Michael is wise.

A couple days of heat aren't going to hurt your cigars Darren. They were initially transported from a tropical location to the US (or wherever for CCs) by ship in a container. And I guarantee you that it wasn't a refrigerated container. That's like a week of being baked.
