As we mentioned above, root crops like potatoes present challenges, but with that being said it is definitely possible.
Given the specific conditions you outlined, it’s hard to know what the outcome will be. If you do not have another option for growing potatoes, you could try growing them in the straw bales and see what happens. Even presented with the most ideal conditions, sometimes crops fail.
If high temperatures persist for a long time, you should try to find a way to provide some shade during the hottest times of the day. Consistent watering will be key to success because if there is no rain and such high temperatures, you will want to take extra care to make sure that your potatoes are given the necessary amount of water.
