Finally someone with temperatures similar to mine.
I have this tiny piece of outside space that is right between a wall and my house so I'm going to put a shade cloth on the top with one of its side on the wall and one on my house with hooks. Ill have vandas and cattleya's there. and my paphs and phals will be beside a windowsill right in front of that space.

Catt's should grow fine until they bloom. When they start to set buds bring them inside, otherwise the flowers come out all warped and distorted from the heat. The Paphs and Phals, however will die pretty quickly in the heat. My Paphs did ok, but did not really grow at all, so I don't think having them outside during that time was all that great. I think the Paphs will just straight up die. Finally, the Vandas can handle the heat, but you will need to water them like 5x a day to keep the aerial roots alive! If you can somehow get the humidity up, it might work better.
