I'll wear my kilt in those temps, but not for extended outside activity. Of course, in the Phoenix area, it gets so hot there's nothing comfortable to wear for extended outside activity! (except maybe a wet sheet...) When I wore my wool kilt at Disney, the weather was just shy of the temperature range you're asking about and it wasn't too bad.
When it's very hot, though, I tend to wear my PV casual kilt with a tee shirt and boots (Doc Martens) with scrunched cotton socks rather than tall wool socks. I haven't tried sandals. I think they might go pretty well with a utility kilt.

Wear the kilt all day, every day. This time of year with 'crocs' (a form of sandal ) during the day. Casual, comfortable and smart enough!

I wear kilts year 'round, including mid-winter and mid-summer, both of which can, and usually are, very extreme temperature-wise here in Chicago. Cotton kilt socks, polo/golf shirts, cotton-blend Utilikilts and cotton-blend sleeveless button front "muscle" shirts are some of the hot weather kilted casual wear solutions that work for me.

Where can you get cotton kilt socks from? I'd never get a utilitykilt though, definately not my cup of tea. I tend to wear polo shirts most of the year but it does get cold here in the winter. Well, down to single figures anyway.

I was in Virginia last week on vacation when the temperatures were 30 - 35 C every day, and wore a different USAK casual every day with nice sandals and lightweight button down shirts. Very cool and comfortable - much cooler than shorts.
A 20-something young lady in the Wegman's supermarket obviously liked the look since she said she wished her boyfriend "had the balls to wear a kilt." (Yes, that made this 50-year old man's day.)

I wore a PV or acrylic, I'm not sure what it is to be honest and it is much better than shorts without a doubt. I guess I'll give it a go with sandals. I get a few positive comments from the Spanish ladies, but mostly strange looks from the men.

When my wife and I had our second wedding in Hawaii, I wore an 8 yard wool kilt and no shoes. Luckily, it was late in the day, and the setting sun did not overheat me too much. The look with no shoes was not that bad, and I definitely appreciated not having wool socks on!

I wear long cotton "army socks" they call them over here (netherlands) and I buy them at a surplus store. Footwear in warm weather: canvas paladium "palabrousse" shoes: 10000s of french legionnairs can't be wrong.
i also wear a cotton breton fisherman's shirt with my kilt.

These aren't sold specifically as kilt hose, but these socks from SockDreams are worn by several members here. They are a cotton/acrylic blend with a nice knit pattern that works pretty well as warm-weather kilt hose, albeit the top is just a plain ribbed cuff. They aren't going to look exactly like traditional wool kilt hose, and you may need to be creative in folding over the top to achieve a nice look, but they do a nice job in my opinion (I have two pair of them).

Or perhaps these?
