Once mine turn brown, they sometimes split open if left for too long in 100 degree plus heat. Cushaws may split but can also cook in the heat, can tell this if the top turns tan and gets soft. I picked the musquee de provence also for this reason. Where you are you may not have to worry about it. We've had quite the summer here.
