I live in an area where the humidity drops to 20% or lower when it warms up and I had mine outside all year round even in 100 degree temps and they were perfectly fine.

Most flytraps and sarrs should be able to tolerate the heat and winds (the water in sarr pitchers may dry up though).
If you got some sundews, they're not going to be okay with this weather change...
Sundews will probably lose their dew for a couple days before regrowing it.
There really isn't anything you can do besides keeping them moist and hoping for the best (the weather changes).

Hot and dry winds certainly won't kill them as long as their soil stays damp but it could make them look a little "haggard"!

I had to move my Byblis inside because of that. Plus the wind was snapping stems. It's still alive, but is doing much better inside the tent. It's frosted up quite nicely.
