DSH007It is actually useful for hot weather. Dark colored cotton or linen thermal to absorb and hold sweat against the body so it is able to draw heat away more efficiently as it evaporates, as well as drawing IR radiation from the body. Layer that with a light colored, loose fitted, merino shirt to block UV radiation from the sun, and to buffer trapped body heat and pump it out while moving (Even a slight amount of wind helps alot with this. Very quickly pumps out any heat that builds up between the layers). A light weight hoodie works great as the outer layer also, as it blocks the sun from the head/face and back of the neck.

A poly T-shirt and shorts may work fine up to about 30-35C (86-95F), but your body will be fighting a loosing battle trying to keep cool much higher. Especially if the UV index is high. It is far better to block the heat from reaching the body in the first place, and provide active assistance in drawing away heat produced by the body.
