pruning weigela 2 months after blooming

My weigela bushes are really looking stressed by the 100 degree plus temperatures. I am wondering about pruning them now even though they bloomed in May. Would it stress them even more? The majority of the leaves are dead looking, though some at the back of the bushes look fairly well.
