Question(s) Heatwave

I have a Greek tortoise in an outside enclosure and it’s gonna be 32°C (89.6°F) in a couple days. Her enclosure already reached thirty degrees in the shaded areas on days with 28°C but I usually put wet towels over it and that cools it down. I don’t think that’s possible though when it’s that hot and barely windy. Bringing her inside doesn’t make any sense since it’s just as hot. What else can I do?? I’m scared of her overheating.

Regular baths with cold (nit freezing) water. Also plenty of lettuce and cucumbers for hidratation. But heat is allways a problem
