bromeliads and ferns

Bromeliads and ferns do well in the cooler months of the year.  When we had our first over 30 degrees day a week ago I was quite worried about the ferns and bromeliads.  The tree ferns are looking good but are too tall to be covered, should we get another very hot and windy day.  A few years ago the tall tree ferns were singed by the February heat and it took a couple of years for them to recover.  The lower ferns could avoid the hot wind but would go brown when the temperature is too high.  I water the ferns and bromeliads when the temperature becomes unbearable.
