What kind of cycling clothes will mitigate a 40 C / 70% humidity afternoon in Memphis?

Trees for example. City highways make everything hotter.
Memphis is full of underutilized 4 lane roads--remove 2 lanes and add a bike path + trees. The difficulty is that unless there is a bike network, it will get limited utilization. Need to build out a way to get places and people will use it.
New Orleans is trying this and facing a lot of pushback.
Trees and an ebike.
